  We study the projective systems in both continuous and discrete settings.
These systems are linearizable by construction and thus, obviously, integrable.
We show that in the continuous case it is possible to eliminate all variables
but one and reduce the system to a single differential equation. This equation
is of the form of those singled-out by Painlev\'e in his quest for integrable
forms. In the discrete case, we extend previous results of ours showing that,
again by elimination of variables, the general projective system can be written
as a mapping for a single variable. We show that this mapping is a member of
the family of multilinear systems (which is not integrable in general). The
continuous limit of multilinear mappings is also discussed.
