hey man, dont beat yourelf up if you didnt get it by yourself! its just some shit ass binary puzzle.

So each half circle should represent a power of two. Writing all four number in left in their binary representation ( as sum of different powers of two) should help you find out what each half circle means.

The two equations on the right are actually obsolete as you dont need them to solve the problem.

The only values you cant find are 8 and 2, but you dont need them separately and you know how they look summed up because of 14.

not everyone works with binary though and just guessing it without experience is unrealistic. it is just a really bad puzzle that doesnt bring anything even remotely novel

This is a bad puzzle, because the solution does not make full use of the evidence.
It looks as if any ring has three states: Top, bottom, and full.
Naturally, someone would try to create a complex system from these three-state rings that generates the numbers shown.
However, the puzzle tricks the player by having the "three state rings" actually be a pair of two-state semicircles.

This kind of trick is just bad puzzlemaking because it means the actual solution is much more simple than the apparent solution, but the only people who will figure out the actual solution are those who make an unreasonable (yet correct) assumption about the nature of the puzzle.
