Relationship To Spreads
Translation planes are related to spreads in finite projective spaces by the André/Bruck-Bose construction. A spread of is a set of q2 + 1 lines, with no two intersecting. Equivalently, it is a partition of the points of into lines.
Given a spread of, the André/Bruck-Bose construction1 produces a translation plane of order q2 as follows: Embed as a hyperplane of . Define an incidence structure with "points," the points of not on and "lines" the planes of meeting in a line of . Then is a translation affine plane of order q2. Let be the projective completion of .

“Poetry is above all a concentration of the power of language, which is the power of our ultimate relationship to everything in the universe.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“Crimes increase as education, opportunity, and property decrease. Whatever spreads ignorance, poverty and, discontent causes crime.... Criminals have their own responsibility, their own share of guilt, but they are merely the hand.... Whoever interferes with equal rights and equal opportunities is in some ... real degree, responsible for the crimes committed in the community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
