The vertical axis is Lebesgue-null #
The vertical axis {x ∈ Vec3 | x₀ = x₁ = 0} — equivalently {polarR x = 0} — is a proper
linear subspace of Vec3, hence Lebesgue-null by the general Haar-measure fact for strict
subspaces. This is the "axis Lebesgue-null" step needed to integrate the off-axis pointwise
vortex-stretching identity stretching_eq_stretchGTerm against a cutoff weight χ² over the
whole ball (see lem:aniso:closure in the paper, arXiv:2609.20803).
The vertical axis {x : Vec3 | x 0 = 0 ∧ x 1 = 0} has Lebesgue measure zero.
The set {x : Vec3 | polarR x = 0} has Lebesgue measure zero.
Almost every point (with respect to Lebesgue measure) has polarR x ≠ 0.
