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.
Besicovitch's set has positive length.
Besicovitch's set has finite length.
A Lipschitz curve meets Besicovitch's set in a null set.
Besicovitch's set is not countably one-rectifiable.
Almost every point of Besicovitch's set has lower density at least 1/2.
No threshold below 1/2 forces one-rectifiability in the plane.
The planar threshold is at least 1/2.
