Abstract

In their classic treatment (5) Veblen and Young build n-dimensional projective geometry from points and lines. Naturally, each line becomes identified with the set of points with which it is incident, and many treatments build from points alone, postulating the existence of certain distinguished subsets of the set of points. From either point of view, some labour is required, even in the two-dimensional case, to establish duality; hence a considerable interest attaches to self-dual systems of axioms; cf. (2; 3).
