• Abstract: We develop a geometric framework for constructing and organizing Kochen--Specker configurations in real four-dimensional space. The construction uses finite grids on pairs of smooth quadrics related by Euclidean polarity. Their incidence geometry directly produces orthogonal measurement contexts and parity proofs of quantum contextuality, yielding infinite families of configurations and a geometric interpretation and extension of a previously known cyclic construction. For a distinguished subfamily, the same geometry admits a canonical completion determined by secant lines. The first two instances of this completion recover the exceptional root configurations of types $F_4$ and $H_4$, while the smallest case also recovers the Cabello configuration and its embedding in the Peres configuration. Thus several prominent four-dimensional contextual configurations, previously obtained from different constructions, arise from a single projective-geometric mechanism.
