Note that the basic broken neighborhoods
V
ε
0
(
x
)
and
V
ε'
1
(
y
)
of points on the
x
-axes
of
different
layers will be disjoint —
unless
0 < ½|
x
-
y
| < min{ε, ε'},
in which case they will meet at exactly one point, lying over
(½(
x
+
y
), ½|
x
-
y
|) .
Any other pairs of broken
V
neighborhoods of distinct
x
-axis
points, on whichever layers, will always be disjoint.
