Abstract: There are contextual sets of multiple qubits whose commutation is parametrized thanks to the coset geometry $mathcalG$ of a subgroup $H$ of the two-generator free group $G=leftlanglex,yightangle$. One defines geometric contextuality from the discrepancy between the commutativity of cosets on $mathcalG$ and that of quantum observables.It is shown in this paper that Kleinian subgroups $K=leftlanglef,gightangle$ that are non-compact, arithmetic, and generated by two elliptic isometries $f$ and $g$ (the Martin-Maclachlan classification), are appropriate contextuality filters. Standard contextual geometries such as some thin generalized polygons (starting with Mermin's $3imes3$ grid) belong to this frame. The Bianchi groups $PSL(2,O_d)$, $din1,3$ defined over the imaginary quadratic field $O_d=mathbbQ(sqrt-d)$ play a special role.
