Abstract
The pleasant incidence properties of m-dimensional projective geometry enable us, upon employing the finite geometry over the field \( {{\rm{F}}_{\rm{2}}} \), to deal nicely with certain commutativity/ anti-commutativity aspects of Clifford algebras Cl(o, d) in dimensions d = 2m+1−1, m = 2,3...
