With the displayed signed Lie-Poisson bracket and evolution F˙={F,H}, the equations are x˙1​=2(C−B)x2​x3​, x˙2​=2(A−C)x3​x1​, and x˙3​=2(B−A)x1​x2​. The energy and the Casimir function of a Poisson manifold x12​+x22​+x32​ are conserved. For A=1/(2I1​), B=1/(2I2​), C=1/(2I3​) with positive inertias, these are the Euler equations for a torque-free rigid body. Reversing the bracket while fixing H reverses time orientation.
