Generally Pappus theorem implies Desargues'. The theory is far from being complete, not in the logical but in the philosophical and even aesthetics meaningaesthetic sense. Why thisdo these incidence identities lookslook so beautiful? :) Also what about combinatorics of, say, free or ... projective or ...some other submodules of the free module over the ring? noncommutative? (thereThere was some old activity on this subject.) What about combinatorics of geodesic surfaces in nice Rimanien manifold etc etc...Riemannian manifolds, and so on?
