Combinatorial Design: The mathematical arrangement of elements to ensure specific properties, like unique matches between pairs.
Finite Projective Plane: A geometric structure with a finite number of points and lines, used here to guarantee symbol matches.
Visual Scanning: The process of systematically moving one's eyes across a visual field to gather information.
