  text: This paper presents a novel study on the functional gradation of coordinate
    planes in connection with the thinnest and tunnel-free (i.e., naive) discretization
    of sphere in the integer space. For each of the 48-symmetric quadraginta octants
    of naive sphere with integer radius and integer center, we show that the corresponding
    voxel set forms a bijection with its projected pixel set on a unique coordinate
    plane, which thereby serves as its functional plane. We use this fundamental property
    to prove several other theoretical results for naive sphere. First, the quadraginta
    octants form symmetry groups and subgroups with certain equivalent topological
    properties. Second, a naive sphere is always unique and consists of fewest voxels.
    Third, it is efficiently constructible from its functional-plane projection. And
    finally, a special class of 4-symmetric discrete 3D circles can be constructed
    on a naive sphere based on back projection from the functional plane.
