Added motivation

| Sep 29, 2011 at 2:13 | comment | added | j.c. | There's a reasonable question here, but I suggest you edit in more background and definitions as to make the question more accessible. See e.g. mathoverflow.net/howtoask#motivation . And given the connections between oriented matroid theory and algebraic geometry (studied say by Gel'fand, MacPherson, ...), I wouldn't be too surprised if there was actually some algebraic geometry motivation for this, but it should be edited into the question too. | |

| Sep 28, 2011 at 18:00 | comment | added | Igor Rivin | And what is a chirotope? | |
