Choose an antilinear quaternionic structure J on C4. It induces a fixed-point-free involution on projective twistor space. A real Euclidean spacetime point is a J-invariant complex two-plane, equivalently a quaternionic line in H2. These form HP1≅S4, the conformal compactification of Euclidean space. Every projective twistor lies on the unique invariant line PspanC​(Z,JZ), giving a fibration CP3→S4 with fiber CP1.
