Based on my very elementary understanding of science — there has to be a North somewhere!

Mine is elementary also. Maybe it is in the center and the sun is getting ready to split in half.

Actually, there is no such thing as North... especially on the Sun.

The mathematical requirement is that the net magnetic flux normal to the surface is zero. The easiest way to do that is no magnetic field. The next easiest is a magnetic dipole. Beyond that you could have all kinds of chaotic configurations, as long as they “balance out”.

These magnetohydrodynamic situations are very complicated, and it is only recently that they have been understood at all, in terms of mathematical models. I guess the main thing is that it is out of the ordinary, and it would seem that Science is pretty much at a loss here, except for comparison with historical scientific experience.
