Homeomega14⁺

omega14⁺ with line C projected to infinity

Richter-Gebert, [1996] presents two oriented matroids, both derived from a third. His title, two interesting oriented matroids, suggests he sees the third one as dull — we include it nevertheless. The basic derivation is from this matrix:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N
1 0 1 0 1 1 2 3 2 3 1 1 -1 0
0 1 0 1 1 2 1 2 3 1 3 -1 1 0
0 0 1 1 2 2 2 4 4 4 4 4 4 1

This oriented matroid is defined with a chirotope being the 3 by 3 determinants of the above matrix except that:

χ(L,M,N) = +1

This oriented matroid is interesting, because like Suvorov's one, its realization space is disconnected. It is also easier to define, using only integers in the matrix.
