Understanding the Magnetic Matrix

We have been taught in physics, that the magnetic dipole has a 1-2 or north south polarity, which is true. BUT a magnet, a single magnetic unit or (smu) also has a 3-4 or east west polarity. The magnetic dipole is usually conceived as somewhat like an orange. The top and bottom of the orange would be the poles, and the segments of the orange would be the lines of the field as seen in like this drawing.

No matter how many magnetic fields are put together, 1, (north) will always attract 2, (south) and 2 will always attract to 1. However, the magnetic field also has a 3-4 and a 4-3 attraction and a neutral as represented in these drawings.
