Continuous Geometry

---

This foundational text, published posthumously and based on lecture notes from 1935–1937, marks the birth of the field of continuous geometry. John von Neumann introduces a "point-free" generalization of projective geometry where the lattice of subspaces allows for a continuous range of dimensions, rather than just discrete integers. The book develops the axioms of continuous geometry, explores dimension theory, and examines the properties of regular rings. It remains a critical resource for researchers in lattice theory, operator algebra, and the mathematical foundations of quantum
