Abstract
Sometimes in a geometry, a residual of a flag F may exhibit objects A and B that appear to belong to classes of distinct types in the residual, but may in fact belong to one type in some covering geometry. The method of realizing such a covering geometry, due to A. Cohen, is exposed. If the covering geometry is connected, A and B belong to one class; if it is not connected, A and B are objects of distinct types. There is some wrestling with sufficient conditions for the latter choice.
