Dual Structure
If we interchange the role of "points" and "lines" in
- C=(P,L,I)
the dual structure
- C*=(L,P,I*)
is obtained, where I* is the inverse relation of I. Clearly
- C**=C.
This is an abstract version of projective duality.
A structure C that is isomorphic to its dual C* is called self-dual.

Famous quotes containing the words dual and/or structure:
“Thee for my recitative,
Thee in the driving storm even as now, the snow, the winter-day
declining,
Thee in thy panoply, thy measur’d dual throbbing and thy beat
convulsive,
Thy black cylindric body, golden brass and silvery steel,”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
“The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
