Non-realizability conjecture for the finite-field arrangement with 2q2q hyperplanes

Let qq be a prime power with qPq\notin\mathbb{P}, and let A\mathcal{A} be the arrangement with 2q2q hyperplanes defined in the source's Definition n0series. Two arrangements have the same incidence when their incidence structures of hyperplanes and intersections are isomorphic.

Non-realizability conjecture. There is no arrangement in C3\mathbb{C}^3 with the same incidence as A\mathcal{A}.

The arrangement is realizable over the relevant finite field when qq is an odd prime, as established immediately before this conjecture. The proposed statement concerns prime powers that are not prime and asserts that their incidence cannot be realized over C\mathbb{C}; the source supplies no resolution.
