Great puzzle! Nice ruleset an a beautiful construction. The negative constraint was not necessary for the solve. Thanks!

Beautiful minimalistic puzzle with a simple ruleset and a very enjoyable solving path. Nothing too tricky. I was repeatedly surprised how quickly the number of candidates for some of the circles got down to one.
