| Sphere s with radius r>0 centered on P = (x,y,z) | $I_s = (1/c, 1/r, x/r, y/r, z/r)$ satisfying $Q(I_s,I_s) = -1$, i.e., $c = r/(\|P\|^2 - r^2)$. | Can also write $I_s = (\|P\|^2/r - r, 1/r, x/r. y/r, z/r)$ -- so there is no trouble if $\|E_{I_s}\| = r$, just get first coordinate to be 0. |
| Plane p with unit normal (x,y,z), a distance s from origin | $I_p = (2s, 0, x, y, z)$ | Note $Q(I_p, I_p)$ is still -1. Also, there are two representations for each plane through the origin, namely $(0,0,x,y,z)$ and $(0,0,-x,-y,-z)$ |
| Plane p with unit normal (x,y,z) through the point s(x,y,z) | $I_p = (-2s, 0, -x, -y, -z)$ | Note $Q(I_p, I_p)$ is still 1. |
| Point P with Euclidean coordinates (x,y,z) | $I_P = (\|P\|^2, 1, x, y, z)$ | Note $Q(I_P,I_P) = 0$.  Because of this we might choose  some other scaling of the inversive coordinates, say $(\||P\||,1/\||P\||,x/\||P\||,y/\||P\||,z/\||P\||)$ instead, but that fails at the origin, and likely won't have some of the other nice properties listed below.  Note that scaling just the co-radius by $s$ and the radius by $1/s$ (which still preserves $Q=0$) dilates by a factor of $s$ about the origin, so that $(\|P\|, \|P\|, x, y, z)$, which might look symmetric, would actually have to represent the Euclidean point $(x/\||P\||, y/\||P\||, z/\||P\||)$ . |
| ∞, the "point at infinity" | $I_\infty = (1,0,0,0,0)$ | The only solution to $Q(I,I) = 0$ not covered by the above case. |
| P lies on sphere or plane given by I | $Q(I_P, I) = 0$ | |
