The theorem of Möbius tetrads, also simply called Möbius's theorem by Baker (1925, p. 18), may be stated as follows. Let , , , and be four arbitrary points in a plane. Draw an arbitrary plane through each of the six lines through pairs of points . The set of three of these planes , , passing through the pairs from three of the original points meet in a point . The theorem of Möbius tetrads then states that the four points , , , and lie in a plane (Baker 1992, p. 62).
