Using Chaotica transforms to the max
I decided to write this tutorial as most of the IFS tutorials are focused on Apo, and don't really explore all the possibilities Chaotica offers: a nice and flexible transform system, allowing effects that cannot be achieved in Apo without resorting to complex weight and "xaos" structures.
I will present here 5 examples to illustrate those possibilities.
Before reading this tutorial, you may take a look at the tutorial below, as it may help to understand some of the examples:
Also, notice that the focus of this tutorial is to explain a technique and not to teach you how to make some specific setup.

Inverting Things with Spherical
A few uses of spherical. Those are not all, not any close to it even, but hopefully a good bunch of directions and ideas.

Circle / Spherical
To make an inverse of a circle, you can use spherical as linked transform:
Circle_blur (left) and same with a post linked spherical (right)
Hypertile (left) and hypertile with a linked spherical (right).
When you need to create an inverse but don't want to interfer with the shape, you may use 2 chained sphericals. Their effect on the other transforms will cancel each other (one inverts the circle, and the next one inverts the inverse of the circle, bringing it back t
