QA-Tf2: Involutary Conjugate
The Involutary Conjugate of a point Q is the 2nd Double Point of the QA-Line Involution (see QA-Tf1) occurring on the tangent at Q to the conic (P1, P2, P3, P4, Q).
It is a conjugate because applying two times this transformation ends up in the original point.
The Involutary Conjugate can also be seen as the Pi-Ceva Conjugate of Q wrt Component Triangle Pj.Pk.Pl (for all combinations of (i,j,k,l) ∈ (1,2,3,4)) (note Bernard Gibert).
Construction 1
1. Construct the conic through P1, P2, P3, P4, Q.
2. Construct the tangent Lq at Q to this conic.
3. Construct the Involution Center IC of the created QA-Line Involution for Lq (see Ref-19 as well as QA-Tf5).
4. Now R = the Involutary Conjugate of Q = the Reflection of Q in IC.

Construction 2 (by Eckart Schmidt)
1. Choose one of the Component Quadrigons of the Reference Quadrangle.
2. Let Si and Sj be the intersection points of the opposite sides of the Quadrigon.
3. Connect X (the point to be transformed) with Si and Sj and construct on these lines the 4th harmonic points Xi and Xj wrt the intersection points with the crossing opposite quadrigon lines.
4. Connecting lines Si.Xj and Sj.Xi intersect in X*, the Involutary Conjugate of X.

Construction of the Involutary Conjugate of the Infinity Point of some line PQ
The involutary conjugate of the infinity point of some line Lpq through P and Q will lie on the involutary conjugate of the whole line, which is a QA-DT-conic through QA-Tf2(P) and QA-Tf2(Q), here called QA-Tf2(Lpq). Well known is that the locus of involutary conjugates of all infinity points is the nine-point conic QA-Co1. Therefore the involutary conjugate of the infinity point of some line P.Q is the 4th intersection point of QA-Co1 and QA-Cox. The other three intersection points are the vertices of the QA-Diagonal Triangle QA-DT.

Coordinates and Coefficients
Let Q (u : v : w) be a random point not on one of the connecting lines of the Reference Quadrangle.
It is possible to construct a conic through P1, P2, P3, P4, Q since a conic is defined by 5 points.
This tangent (see QA-L-1) at Q creates a QA-Line Involution (QA-Tf1), where Q represents the 1st Double Point and QA-Tf2 is the 2nd Double Point.
Let Q(u:v:w) be a random point.
Coordinates of QA-Tf2 in CT-notation:
( u (q r u - p r v - p q w) : v (-q r u + p r v - p q w) : w (-q r u - p r v + p q w) )
Coordinates of QA-Tf2 in in DT-notation:
(p2 v w : q2 w u : r2 u v)

Properties
- QA-Tf2(P)=DT-Tripole(QL-Tf2h(DT-Tripolar(P))), where QL-Tf2h=QL-Tf2 wrt the Quadrilateral formed by the QA-Tr1-trilinear polars of the QA-vertices (See QA-8 and Ref-34, QFG#1497,#1506 by Eckart Schmidt).
- QA-Tf2(P) is the common point of the three versions of QL-Tf6(P). See Ref-34, Eckart Schmidt, QFG#2179.
- QA-Tf2 is an isoconjugation of the diagonal triangle QA-Tr1 with fixed points in the vertices of the quadrangle. See Ref-34, Eckart Schmidt, QFG#2875.
- QA-Tf2(X) is the common point for polars of X wrt circumconics of the quadrangle. See Ref-34, Eckart Schmidt, QFG#2855, #2856, #2875.
- Let Si (i=1,2,3) be the vertices of the QA-Diagonal Triangle and Li be the corresponding sidelines of the QA-Diagonal Triangle. QA-Tf2(P) is the common intersection point of the 4th harmonic lines of P.Si wrt (Lj,Lk), where i,j,k are different indices from (1,2,3). See Ref-34, Bernard Keizer, QFG#2878.
