We record here two further remarks about the systems, studied in [1] and [2], consisting of a vector space U and a set K of subspaces of U. In § 1, we show that such a system may be viewed as a module over a suitable artinian ring; the results of [1] and [2] thus serve to illustrate the complexity of structure of these modules. The main idea, a little wider than one introduced by Mitchell in Chapter IX of [3], is to view a diagram of vector spaces, with a small category as the scheme of the diagram, as a module over the ‘category ring’ of the category.
