The four spheres is a concept of planar arrangement. The basic idea is that there are four intersecting spheres, one for each of the four elements. Theses spheres intersect in a way that means there are:
4 sets of planes aligned to only one element.
6 sets of planes aligned to two elements simultaneously
4 sets of planes unaligned to a single element
1 set of planes aligned to all four elements simultaneously
Within each set, there are 9 major planes, corresponding to each of the 9 alignments. For instance, the material plane is the TN major plane for the set where all four intersect.

I need to assign a plane to all of the blank spots, be it an already existing one or a new one. Please help with that.
