LeanPool.Besicovitch.Example.LowerBound

The planar threshold is at least 1/2 #

Besicovitch's set Π, the graph of g over [0, 1], is measurable and has positive finite length. It is purely unrectifiable: a Lipschitz curve meeting it in positive length would make g Lipschitz on a set of positive Lebesgue measure (LeanPool.Besicovitch.Example.Reduction), which is impossible (LeanPool.Besicovitch.Example.Zero). On the other hand its lower one-density is at least 1/2 at every interior point (LeanPool.Besicovitch.Example.LowerDensity), hence almost everywhere. So no threshold below 1/2 forces one-rectifiability in the plane, and sigmaOne ℝ² ≥ 1/2.

No threshold below 1/2 forces one-rectifiability in the plane.

The planar threshold is at least 1/2.
