Abstract
We describe a fully faithful embedding of projective geometries, given in terms of closure operators, into -modules, in the sense of Connes and Consani. This factors through a faithful functor out of simple pointed matroids. This follows from our construction of a fully faithful embedding of weakly unital, commutative hypermagmas into -modules. This embedding is of independent interest as it generalizes the classical Eilenberg-MacLane embedding for commutative monoids and recovers Segal's nerve construction for commutative partial monoids. For this reason, we spend some time elaborating its structure.
