(ax + by + ay)^3 + (bx)^3 + (ax + by + bx)^3 + (ay)^3
= (ax + ay + bx)^3 + (by)^3 + (ay + by + bx)^3 + (ax)^3
SOP3_1
(ax + ay + bx)^3 + (ax + ay + by)^3 + (ax + bx + by)^3 + (ax - by)^3
= (ax)^3 + (ax + bx)^3 + (ax + ay)^3 + (ax + bx + ay + by)^3
SOP3_2
(ax + by + ay)^3 + (bx)^3 + (-ax - ay - bx)^3 + (-by)^3
= (-ax - by - bx)^3 + (-ay)^3 + (ay + by + bx)^3 + (ax)^3
= (ay + by)^3 + (-ax - bx)^3 + (ax - by)^3 + (bx - ay)^3
SOP3_3
This equation below is actually an extension of one given by Ramanujan for Sum of Two Cubes in two ways.
IF a^2 + ab + b^2 = 3cd^2 THEN
(dc^2 + a)^3 - (ac + d)^3 = (dc^2 + b)^3 - (bc + d)^3 = (dc^2 - a - b)^3 + (ac + bc - d)^3
(dc^2 - a)^3 + (ac - d)^3 = (dc^2 - b)^3 + (bc - d)^3 = (dc^2 + a + b)^3 - (ac + bc + d)^3
SOP3_4
3 ( (a^2 + 2ab)^3 + (-b^2 - 2ab)^3 + (b^2 - a^2)^3 )
= ( (-a)^3 + (-b)^3 + (a + b)^3 ) *  ( (-a - 2b)^3 + (2a + b)^3 + (b - a)^3 )
