Abstract: 

A diagrammatic calculus for finite real spectral triples isintroduced. This calculus relates the axioms of non-commutative geometrywith geometric properties of the diagrams. The diagram calculus determinesa two-dimensional topological quantum field theory with defects.Conversely, defects in a TQFT determine a generalised notion ofnon-commutative geometry.
