The container of a round object (a round point, dipole, circle, or sphere) is the smallest sphere that contains it. The container of an object $$\mathbf x$$ is denoted by $$\operatorname{con}(\mathbf x)$$, and it is given by the expansion of $$\mathbf x$$ into its own carrier:
- $$\operatorname{con}(\mathbf x) = \mathbf x \wedge \operatorname{car}(\mathbf x)^\unicode["segoe ui symbol"]{x2606}$$ .
The squared radius of an object's container has the same sign as the squared radius of the object itself. That is, a real object has a real container, and an imaginary object has an imaginary container.
The following table lists the containers for the round objects in the 5D conformal geometric algebra $$\mathcal G_{4,1}$$.
Type | Definition | Container |

Round point | $$\mathbf a = a_x \mathbf e_1 + a_y \mathbf e_2 + a_z \mathbf e_3 + a_w \mathbf e_4 + a_u \mathbf e_5$$ | $$\begin{split}\operatorname{con}(\mathbf a) = &-a_w^2 \mathbf e_{1234} \\ &+ a_xa_w \mathbf e_{4235} \\ &+ a_ya_w \mathbf e_{4315} \\ &+ a_za_w \mathbf e_{4125} \\ &+ (a_wa_u - a_x^2 - a_y^2 - a_z^2) \mathbf e_{3215}\end{split}$$ |
Dipole | $$\mathbf d = d_{vx} \mathbf e_{41} + d_{vy} \mathbf e_{42} + d_{vz} \mathbf e_{43} + d_{mx} \mathbf e_{23} + d_{my} \mathbf e_{31} + d_{mz} \mathbf e_{12} + d_{px} \mathbf e_{15} + d_{py} \mathbf e_{25} + d_{pz} \mathbf e_{35} + d_{pw} \mathbf e_{45}$$ | $$\begin{split}\operatorname{con}(\mathbf d) &= (d_{vx}^2 + d_{vy}^2 + d_{vz}^2)\,\mathbf e_{1234} \\ &+ (d_{vz} d_{my} - d_{vy} d_{mz} - d_{vx} d_{pw})\,\mathbf e_{4235} \\ &+ (d_{vx} d_{mz} - d_{vz} d_{mx} - d_{vy} d_{pw})\,\mathbf e_{4315} \\ &+ (d_{vy} d_{mx} - d_{vx} d_{my} - d_{vz} d_{pw})\,\mathbf e_{4125} \\ &+ (d_{mx}^2 + d_{my}^2 + d_{mz}^2 + d_{vx} d_{px} + d_{vy} d_{py} + d_{vz} d_{pz})\,\mathbf e_{3215}\end{split}$$ |
