A new trigonometry for twistors is presented. The operator-theoretic maximum twistor turning angle is shown to be related to the space-time geometric angle within the light cone. The corresponding maximally turned twistor antieigenvectors are calculated and interpretted. The two weak interaction CP eigenvectors of neutral kaons are shown to be exactly the two strong interaction strangeness antieigenvectors. Quark mixing is seen trigonometrically. 't Hooft's microcosmos model is connected to the theories of normal degree and complex dynamics.
