One diagram

Overlapping-squares proof diagram

Two equal squares of side n overlap inside a larger square of side m. The central orange overlap and two uncovered corner squares encode a smaller solution to the same square-area equation.

Words-only linearization: Diagram for the geometric irrationality proof. A large outer square has side m. Two equal inner squares, each of side n, occupy the lower-left and upper-right corners and overlap in a central orange square. Two congruent corner regions remain uncovered. Because m squared equals twice n squared, the central overlap has the same total area as the two uncovered regions. Calling the overlap side p and each uncovered-square side q yields p squared equals twice q squared, with p less than m and q less than n.

9 disclosed reader corrections

  1. TR006-SOURCE-FORMULA-007: The source compares a real-equivalence class with rational zero. The reader says real zero, which is the identity in the constructed ordered field, while preserving the printed formula and source MathML.
  2. TR006-SOURCE-PROSE-001: The reader supplies the missing word 'to' in the source explanation of multiplication by juxtaposition.
  3. TR006-SOURCE-PROSE-002: Nonemptiness, not the existence of an upper bound, supplies a member of S; the immutable source wording is retained separately.
  4. TR006-SOURCE-PROSE-003: The reader supplies the missing noun 'details.'
  5. TR006-SOURCE-PROSE-004: The reader supplies the missing word 'is.'
  6. TR006-SOURCE-PROSE-005: The construction identifies reals with equivalence classes, not with the equivalence relation itself.
  7. TR006-SOURCE-PROSE-006: The reader removes the duplicated word 'we.'
  8. TR006-SOURCE-PROSE-008: The reader corrects the blended phrase 'hone on in' to 'home in on.'
  9. TR006-SOURCE-PROSE-009: The printed equality is a proposition, not an object that can be an upper bound. The reader identifies the common class intended by the surrounding proof while retaining the source formula and its MathML.

Words-only presentation normalization

  1. SFR-ARITH-PRESENTATION-001: The projected source has a redundant less-than character immediately before the words 'are all smaller than.' The prose reader omits that duplicate symbol; the exact accepted projected TeX remains available in Source and provenance.
