ABSTRACT
We have raised the question whether the process of derivation is geometric. We have associated with a derivable net a 3-dimensional projective space over a skewfield if . Since the derived net is also a derivable net, there is a corresponding 3-dimensional projective space over a skewfield K D. In the present context, we might ask how the two combinatorial structures relate within the three-dimensional projective spaces corresponding to a derivable net and its derived net.
