  Models of the Hyperbolic Plane
In the Klein model of the hyperbolic plane, the "plane" is the unit disk; in other words, the interior of the Euclidean unit circle.
The "distance" between two points with coordinates z and w in the complex plane is: 2 arctanh{(z-w)/(1-wz*)}, where z* is the complex conjugate of z.
Thus as in the Klein model, the "distance" to the boundary of the disk is infinite, and postulate 2 holds.

 History of the upper-air observation at the World Ocean, VII International Congress
To neutralize the effects of ship rolling upon the measured angular coordinates of the radiosonde, the radar antenna column was mounted on a platform of stabilized post.
Accumulating these coordinates step by step one may find the horizontal projections of the radiosonde trajectory to retrieve both wind speed and direction in different layers of the atmosphere.
No linear coordinates are then needed, and the balloon flight level is found using the barometric formula, substituting into the actually measured pressure.

Further explanation of the ramifications of the hyperbolic metric can be found in one of the many mathematical textbooks which cover hyperbolic geometry [Mar75] [Wol45].
Although we could simply place euclidean objects into hyperbolic 3-space and move them around according to the rules of hyperbolic geometry, we would not be exploiting the exponential amount of room available in hyperbolic space.
Distinct hyperbolic coordinates which are too far from the origin will be projected so close to the surface of the unit ball that there are not enough bits to distinguish between their euclidean coordinates.

 NonEuclid: X-Y Coordinate System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In the Euclidean Geometry, Cartesian coordinate system, the coordinates of any point in the first quadrant are defined to be the ordered pair, (x,y) where x is the perpendicular distance from the point to the x-axis, and y is the perpendicular distance from the point to the y-axis.
This might make it seem like the point (1,1) is undefined in Hyperbolic Geometry; however, the point (1,1) does exist, and it is located at point P. The length of the perpendicular from P to the x-axis is 1.0 units.
This coordinate system sets up a one-to-one correspondence between all of the points in the Hyperbolic plane and all ordered pairs (x,y) where x and y are real numbers.

In a simply connected hyperbolic region hyperbolic polar coordinates possess global Euclidean properties similar to those of hyperbolic polar coordinates about the origin in the unit disk if and only if the region is convex.
For example, the Euclidean distance between travelers moving at unit hyperbolic speed along distinct hyperbolic geodesic rays emanating from a common point is increasing if and only if the region is convex.
A consequence of this is that the ends of distinct hyperbolic geodesic rays in a convex region cannot be too close.

 Cartesian coordinate system Summary
In mathematics, the Cartesian coordinate system is used to uniquely determine each point in the plane through two numbers, usually called the x-coordinate and the y-coordinate of the point.
To define the coordinates, two perpendicular directed lines (the x-axis or abscissa and the y-axis or ordinate), are specified, as well as the unit length, which is marked off on the two axes (see Figure 1).
Using the Cartesian coordinate system geometric shapes (such as curves) can be described by algebraic equations, namely equations satisfied by the coordinates of the points lying on the shape.

 Another Symmetry
Under an inversion of the coordinate system about the surface at an absolute interval R from the origin (which may be chosen arbitrarily), each event located on a given ray through the origin is moved to another point on that ray such that its absolute interval from the origin is changed from s to R
Thus the hyperbolic surfaces outside of R are mapped to surfaces inside R, and vice versa.
Thus inversion of a system of inertial coordinates yields a system of coordinates in which all the null intervals are preserved.

Because of this, drawing a hyperbolic circle through a given point with a given center is different from drawing a Euclidean circle through a given point with a given center, and it is not clear (to me) that the former construction can be reduced to the latter (or to any other Euclidean construction).
One might also consider scaling down a putative hyperbolic trisection to the infinitesimal scale to obtain a Euclidean trisection (which we know to be impossible), but the hyperbolic plane admits no scaling transformations (unlike the Euclidean plane), and anyway the limit of a valid construction may not be a valid construction (degeneracies may arise).
Since this interpretation fails for other geometries such as the hyperbolic plane or the sphere, it would be nice to understand the problem in a way that would extend naturally to other geometries.

The strongest evidence given by the founders for its consistency is the duality between hyperbolic and spherical trigonometries.
Because stereographic projections are conformal maps, the conformal groups of n-dimensional Euclidean, spherical, and hyperbolic spaces are isometric to each other, and are all isometric to the group of isometries of hyperbolic (n+1)-space, according to observations of Klein [K1872], [K1872].

If the hyperbolic interval is positive, it means that each event lies in the exterior of the other's light cone, and the events are not causally connected.
This means that it must be possible to synchronize their clocks when they are pairwise stationary with respect to one another, and that each measures the speed of light to be one unit distance per unit time.
