Abstract

We describe a new way to construct finite geometric objects. For every \(k\) we obtain a symmetric configuration \(\mathcal{E }(k-1)\) with \(k\) points on a line. In particular, we have a constructive existence proof for such configurations. The method is very simple and purely geometric. It also produces interesting periodic matrices.
