Abstract

It has recently been recognized by the author that the quantum contextuality paradigm may be formulated in terms of the properties of some subgroups of the two-letter free group GG and their corresponding point-line incidence geometry G\mathcal{G}. I introduce a fundamental homomorphism ff mapping the (infinitely many) words of G to the permutations ruling the symmetries of G\mathcal{G}. The substructure of ff is revealing the essence of geometric contextuality in a straightforward way.
