§8.1: the small Across regime s ≤ 1/400 #
Let c be the full section of S₀ from v₀ towards w₀ (direction (0, 1)). The face
inequality of the internal endpoint together with (1, c) ∈ S₀ gives 0 ≤ x ≤ s + (s/c) y on
S₀ ∩ H in the local coordinates of v₀, and the diameter with v₀ gives y < 6/5; hence
|S₀ ∩ H| ≤ 6s/5 + 18 s/(25 c). With M₀ ∈ S₁ the budget forces c < 16 s. The point
(1, c) is reached by A₀ or S₁ (closedness); A₀ is excluded since M₀ ∉ A₀, so
(1, c) ∈ S₁, hence (1, 16 s) ∈ S₁, and the four points v₁, (-s, 1), M₀, (1, 16 s)
are excluded by the checker for s ≤ 1/400.
