Return to Question

I know this seems like a basic question, and in the traditional sense, I actually know how their related. Though, whilst reading a book titled 'harmony for computer musicians', I've come across a geometric image that is titled 'relationships between keys on the circle of fifths'.

This is the image, page 26:

So, lets take C. C is is not connected in anyway to B-flat/A-sharp or to D. It is connected however to F and G, the author that this was because they are the notes the lye directly a perfect fifth above/below note C. However, there is no explanation of why it is connected to E-flat, A-flat, D,flat, G-flat, B, E and A.

I have on clue at to what's going on. I have wasted a good few hours reading further into the circle of fifths and trying to figure out for myself why this geometric diagram is connected the why it is, but I can't figure it out. If anyone could help me, it would be VERY much appreciated.

So, lets take C. C is not connected in any way to B-flat/A-sharp or to D. It is, however, connected to F and G, the author says that this was because they are the notes that lay directly a perfect fifth above/below note C. However, there is no explanation of why it is connected to E-flat, A-flat, D,flat, G-flat, B, E and A.

I have no clue as to what's going on. I have wasted a good few hours reading further into the circle of fifths and trying to figure out for myself why this geometric diagram is connected the way it is, but I can't figure it out. If anyone could help me, it would be VERY much appreciated.

By the way, sorry if the title is inaccurate or misleading, though I don't even know what am really asking (because, once again, I can't figure out what this god damn picture means).
