In the compact twistor correspondence, a point of complexified compactified Minkowski space is a two-dimensional subspace . The correspondence fiber consists of flags with a one-dimensional subspace of . Its image in projective twistor space is precisely , so
This is the twistor line of . In the affine chart the twistor incidence relation gives . The linear map is injective, and projectivizing it gives the same Complex projective space . The subspace argument also covers points at conformal infinity, where that graph chart fails.
