QG-Co3: M3D Hyperbola
QG-Co3 is the conic through the 4 defining points P1, P2, P3, P4 of the Quadrigon and the midpoint of the 3rd Diagonal.
This conic is a hyperbola because there are 2 constructible asymptotes.
For a discussion on this conic and related properties see Ref-11, Hyacinthos Message #20183.
Construction asymptotes and center:
The 1st asymptote Asy1 is parallel to the 3rd Diagonal (QG-L1) and the 2nd asymptote Asy2 is parallel to the Newton Line (QL-L1). The Diagonal Crosspoint (QG-P1) lies on Asy1. So Asy1 can be constructed by drawing the line through QG-P1 parallel to the 3rd Diagonal.
The Center of the hyperbola (QG-P14) is the Reflection of QG-P1 in intersection point (Asy1 ^ Newton Line). So Asy2 can be constructed by drawing the line through QG-P14 parallel to the Newton Line (QL-L1).
Note 2: QG-P1 is a Railway Watcher (see paragraph QL-L-1: Railway Watcher) of the Newton Line (QL-L1) and Asy2.
