Pairwise disjoint blocks, and the sensitivity at every point #
For pairwise disjoint blocks the block inequality (BlockInequality, Lemma 6.4 of the paper)
applies with N = 1 and m = 1, where 1 - cos (π / 1) = 2, and gives the bound 4 d²
(Row.disjoint_blocks_of_block). For the blocks {j} this is the sensitivity bound at every
point (Corollary 6.10 of the paper), ∑_j |f(x) - f(x^j)| ≤ 4 d²
(sensitivity_of_block : BlockInequality → SensitivityBound).

The sensitivity bound at every point (Corollary 6.10 of the paper), from the block inequality
(Lemma 6.4): the blocks {j} are pairwise disjoint.
