Abstract
In this paper, a geometry is understood to be a quadruple (Γ, I, Δ, t) where Γ is the element-set of the geometry; I is a reflexive, symmetric relation (incidence relation) on Γ; Δ is the set of types of elements of the geometry and t is a function from Γ onto Δ which associates with each element its type. A geometry is assumed to satisfy the following.
