Abstract
There are contextual sets of multiple qubits whose commutation is parametrized thanks to the coset geometry of a subgroup of the two-generator free group . One defines geometric contextuality from the discrepancy between the commutativity of cosets on and that of quantum observables.It is shown in this paper that Kleinian subgroups that are non-compact, arithmetic, and generated by two elliptic isometries and (the Martin-Maclachlan classification), are appropriate contextuality filters. Standard contextual geometries such as some thin generalized polygons (starting with Mermin's grid) belong to this frame. The Bianchi groups , defined over the imaginary quadratic field play a special role.
