Definition df-plig

Description: Define the class of planar incidence geometries. We use Hilbert's axioms and adapt them to planar geometry. We use e. for the incidence relation. We could have used a generic binary relation, but using e. allows to reuse previous results. Much of what follows is directly borrowed from Aitken,Incidence-Betweenness Geometry, 2008, http://public.csusm.edu/aitken_html/m410/betweenness.08.pdf .

The class Plig is the class of planar incidence geometries, where a planar incidence geometry is defined as a set of lines satisfying three axioms. In the definition below, x denotes a planar incidence geometry, so U. x denotes the union of its lines, that is, the set of points in the plane, l denotes a line, and a , b , c denote points. Therefore, the axioms are: 1) for all pairs of (distinct) points, there exists a unique line containing them; 2) all lines contain at least two points; 3) there exist three non-collinear points.
