    This paper is devoted to geometric interpretations of the following discrete integrable system, which goes by the name \textit{non-commutative discrete Schwarzian Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation}: \[(\phi_{(jk)} - \phi_{(k)})(\phi_{(jk)} - \phi_{(j)} )^{-1}(\phi_{(ij)}-\phi_{(j)})(\phi_{(ij)} - \phi_{(i)})^{-1}(\phi_{(ik)} - \phi_{(i)})(\phi_{(ik)}-\phi_{(k)})^{-1} = 1,\] where \(\phi : {\mathbb Z}\rightarrow F\) is a map from an \(N\)-dimensional integer lattice to a division ring \(F\), and indices in brackets denote shifts in the corresponding variables, in the sense that. \(\phi_{(i)} (n_1, \ldots, n_N) = \phi(n_1, \ldots, n_i + 1, \ldots, n_N)\) and \(\phi_{(ij)} (n_1, \ldots, n_N) = \phi(n_1, \ldots, n_i + 1, \ldots, n_j + 1, \ldots, n_N)\). The geometric interpretations connect the above equation to quadrangular sets, the Veblen configuration, Möbius chain geometry, and the Möbius-Veblen configuration. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1459.00016].
