(On His Dies Natalis )…

An Exceptional Isomorphism Between Geometric and
Combinatorial Steiner Triple Systems Underlies 
the Octads of the M₂₄ Steiner System S(5, 8, 24).

This is asserted in an excerpt from… 

"The smallest non-rank 3 strongly regular graphs ​which satisfy the 4-vertex condition"
by Mikhail Klin, Mariusz Meszka, Sven Reichard, and Alex Rosa,

Note that Theorem 46 of Klin et al.   describes the role of the Galois tesseract   in the Miracle Octad Generator
of R. T. Curtis (original 1976 version).  The tesseract  (a 4×4 array) supplies the geometric   part of the above
exceptional geometric-combinatorial isomorphism.
