Yes, I think the simplest analogy for the Sun is the anode cathode pair, the Sun being the positively charged anode and the heliosphere acting as the cathode

Perhaps it is the same mechanism at work in all these scales from planetary, solar, galactic and beyond and perhaps on the micro scale as well who knows?
Just a thought.

Let's assume for simplicity that the Sun is spherical, and the heliosphere is a spherical shell around that central sphere. You are saying that the heliosphere has a net negative charge. What particles are responsible for carrying that charge?

As far as the hexagon goes, I think I can help with that.
Rotating Polygons
The same principles as cymatics, where frequency creates geometric structure. A little secret to the universe right there.
Whether it's electromagnetic or acoustic or as in the above example I don't know but definitely related to the frequency of the polar vortex.
"Since the time of Langmuir, we know that a double layer is a plasma formation by which a plasma–in the physical meaning of the word–protects itself from the environment. It is analogous to a cell wall by which a plasma (in the biological meaning of the word) protects itself from the environment.
…If a plasma is inhomogeneous so that the chemical composition, density, and/or electron temperature differs in different parts of the plasma, the plasma may set up double layers which split the plasma into two or more regions, each of which becomes more homogeneous."
