Given four points $ A_1, A_2, A_3, A_4$ in the plane, no three collinear, such that \[ A_1A_2 \cdot A_3 A_4 = A_1 A_3 \cdot A_2 A_4 = A_1 A_4 \cdot A_2 A_3, \] denote by $ O_i$ the circumcenter of $ \triangle A_j A_k A_l$ with $ \{i,j,k,l\} = \{1,2,3,4\}.$ Assuming $ \forall i A_i \neq O_i ,$ prove that the four lines $ A_iO_i$ are concurrent or parallel.
