As external observers we have a prior knowledge of this coordinate system; however, the NPO is given only the vectors X₁ and X₂ in the i₀ ⨉ i₁ and i₀ ⨉ i₂ planes. The NPO can reconstruct the entire geometry but the actual output Ξ obviously is constrained to lie in the plane of the input vector X. The following formulas are typical of the relations present.

cos Θ = cos Θ₁ cos Θ₂.
