A divergence-free magnetic field satisfying the Taylor constraint on all geostrophic cylinders. It is a compatibility condition for slow rotating-fluid balance, not a local force-free condition. To retain such a state as magnetic induction proceeds, the velocity must also preserve the time derivative of the cylindrical torque constraint.
