The sup metric and axis-parallel squares #
The blueprint takes the Euclidean norm as primary and uses the sup norm for the
axis-parallel objects the polygonal work is built on: grids of small squares, the vertex
squares of the redrawing argument, and the large square a bounded set is caught inside.
Appendix C item 1 asks for the comparison ‖x‖∞ ≤ ‖x‖ ≤ √2 ‖x‖∞, which is supNorm_le_norm
and norm_le_sqrt_two_mul_supNorm here.
The one theorem of substance is isConnected_beyondSquare: the plane outside a closed
square is connected. It is a square and not a disk on purpose — the outside of a square is
exactly a union of four half-planes, each convex, with consecutive ones sharing a point,
whereas the outside of a disk would need the polar decomposition this development withholds.

Coordinates #
The sup norm #
Coordinate half-planes #
One convexity proof per direction serves all four sides of a square, and the outside of a square is four of them.
Axis-parallel squares #
The closed axis-parallel square of radius r about c.
Equations
- c.closedSquare r = {x : Schoenflies.Plane | x.supDist c ≤ r}
Instances For
The open axis-parallel square of radius r about c.
Equations
- c.openSquare r = {x : Schoenflies.Plane | x.supDist c < r}
Instances For
The outside of a square #
The outside of a square is connected.
Four half-planes, each convex and hence connected, with consecutive ones sharing a corner.
No polar decomposition, and no arbitrary union of connected sets. The radius needs no sign
condition: for r < 0 the four half-planes already cover the plane.
