Geometry were points are squares or hexagons (have an area and shape)

67 Views Asked by At

I am looking for a book that goes deep into the geometry where points have area preferably were points are hexagons but a good introduction of the geometry where points are squares is also welcome.

I would like to learn what he consequences of such an geometry are.

Some I can think of:

A segment contains only a limited number of points.

Segments have an area.

Some parallel lines are indistinguisable (because they are the same point sets)

And I guess many more curious concequences.

I would like te learn about the euclidean case and after that develop my own ideas in the hyperbolic geometry case, but i need a good footing :)

The geometry of hexagons was bij a commenter in an early version of this question refered to as the beehive geometry but a google seach did not give interesting result

I found some pages on hexagonal geometry:

But i would like much more :)
