Abstract
In Chapter 15, we described six families, or types, of hexagonal systems; they are summarized in Figure 2 on page 148. In Chapter 30, we showed that every hexagonal system belongs to one of these families and in (35.13), we showed that two hexagonal systems give rise to isomorphic Moufang hexagons if and only if they are similar as defined in (29.36). In this chapter, we investigate the extent to which the different families overlap and the extent to which non-isomorphic hexagonal systems can be similar.
