Illustration from
"The Galois Quaternion— A Story"
This resembles an attempt by Coxeter in 1950 to represent
a Galois geometry in the Euclidean plane—
The quaternion illustration above shows a more natural way to picture this geometry—
not with dots representing points in the Euclidean plane, but rather with unit squares
representing points in a finite Galois affine plane. The use of unit squares to
represent points in Galois space allows, in at least some cases, the actions
of finite groups to be represented more naturally than in Euclidean space.
