A Projective-Space Home for the Miracle Octad Generator

Filed under: General — Tags: — m759 @ 3:17 pm

The natural geometric setting for the "bricks" in the Miracle Octad Generator
(MOG) of Robert T. Curtis is PG(5,2), the projective 5-space over GF(2).

The Klein correspondence mirrors the 35 lines of PG(3,2) — and hence, via the 
graphic approach below, the 35 "heavy bricks" of the MOG that match those
lines — in PG(5,2), where the bricks may be studied with geometric methods,
as an alternative to Curtis's original MOG combinatorial construction methods.

The construction below of a PG(5,2) brick space  is analogous to the
"line diagrams"  construction of a PG(3,2) in Cullinane's diamond theorem.
