QG-Co1: Inscribed Harmonic Conic
There is a projective transformation from 4 lines in a square to any other set of 4 lines.
See chapter QG-Tf1: QG-Projective Square Transformation.
The Inscribed Harmonic Conic is the projective transformation of the inscribed circle in a square to the Reference Quadrigon. This conic touches the sidelines of the Quadrigon in their perspective midpoints.
See picture below.
