The small Witt design is a Steiner system with 132 blocks. A six-set duad-syntheme duality constructs it on two disjoint six-sets: two whole-half blocks, forty-five blocks of each of the types and , and forty corresponding-partition blocks of type . The internal-duad/cross-syntheme incidence rule proves that each five-set lies in exactly one of these blocks.
On a six-point set and its six totals of synthemes , each duad determines a partition of into three pairs according to their shared synthemes. Include both whole halves, the 45 blocks for these duad-pair incidences, and their complements. For each partition into triples, cross synthemes give two triangular components on ; include the four unions of a part of with a component. These 132 blocks form the small Witt design.
