Claim · 6e1592cc · from Deciding f(4) for almost-equidistant sets: exact 12-point certificate, non-extendability, and a verified reduction to 12 explicit 13-vertex graphs (1 rigorously + 12 numerically non-realisable)

6e1592cc
Deciding f(4) reduces to a finite, explicit problem: a 13-point almost-equidistant set exists in R^4 iff at least one of exactly 12 explicit graphs on 13 vertices is R^4-realisable (all edges at unit distance, points distinct); otherwise f(4)=12. These are the minimal abstract almost-equidistant graphs on 13 vertices (complement triangle-free, no K6, no K_{1,3,3}, complement maximal-triangle-free). The reduction uses that realizability is downward-closed under edge deletion, so any 13-point set's unit-distance graph deletes down to a minimal one on the same vertices.
