A system to generate a representation of a rhythm disorder that includes identifying remote or polar sources associated with a cardiac rhythm disorder is disclosed. The system includes generated a representation based on the cardiac information signals received from the sensors by transformation of spline-sensor locations of the catheter to x-y coordinate pairs of locations. A first offset is determined resulting from a perturbation to corresponding x-y coordinate pairs of locations associated with the representation, the first offset displacing coordinate pairs of sensor locations of the representation at least one unit of displacement in a first direction. A remote source associated with a cardiac rhythm disorder is identified when activations associated with the cardiac information signals rotate in sequence at least once, or emanate centrifugally for at least a first time period, the source being identified based on the representation as displaced. A corresponding method and computer-readable medium are also disclosed.
