Dynkin Systems and the One-Point Geometry

In this note I demonstrate that the collection of Dynkin systems on finite sets assembles into a Connes-Consani ${\mathbb{F}}_1$-module, with the collection of partitions of finite sets as a sub-module. The underlying simplicial set of this ${\mathbb{F}}_1$-module is shown to be isomorphic to the delooping of the Krasner hyperfield $\mathbb{K}$, where $1+1=\{0,1\}$. The face and degeneracy maps of the underlying simplicial set of the ${\mathbb{F}}_1$-module of partitions correspond to merging partition blocks and introducing singleton blocks, respectively. I also show that the ${\mathbb{F}}_1$-module of partitions cannot correspond to a set with a binary operation (even partially defined or multivalued) under the ``Eilenberg-MacLane’’ embedding. These results imply that the $n$-fold sum of the Dynkin ${\mathbb{F}}_1$-module with itself is isomorphic to the ${\mathbb{F}}_1$-module of the discrete projective geometry on $n$ points.
