A point specifies a one-dimensional subspace . Its correspondence fiber consists of two-planes containing . Passing to the quotient gives a bijection, with inverse taking the inverse image of a line,
Since , this is an isomorphism of Complex projective spaces. Consequently
It is the compact alpha-plane associated with . In an affine chart with , the solutions of the twistor incidence relation are , where supplies two complex coordinates. That affine is only an open subset of the compact ; distinguishing them is essential to the printed compact correspondence.
