Note that there are two birational models of the ambient space here, corresponding to the two chambers in the divisor diagram. But the sum defining the I-function really takes place over the intersection of the Mori cones of the two birational models, because of the factor of

vanishes outside the other Kahler cone. Similar things happen in many of the examples below.
