Abstract

We study the outer geometry of the partition graph GnG_n, focusing on its canonical front-and-side framework, the family of nontrivial rectangular partitions, and the rear structures suggested by the visible geometry of the graph. We formalize the boundary framework Bn=MnLnRn\mathcal B_n=\mathcal M_n\cup\mathcal L_n\cup\mathcal R_n, where Mn\mathcal M_n is the main chain and Ln,Rn\mathcal L_n,\mathcal R_n are the left and right side edges, and we isolate the nontrivial rectangular family Rect(n)={(ab):ab=n, a,b2}\mathrm{Rect}^*(n)=\{(a^b):ab=n,\ a,b\ge2\} as a canonical discrete family marking the rear part of GnG_n. We prove that every nontrivial rectangular vertex ρ=(ab)\rho=(a^b) has degree 22, has exactly two explicitly described neighbors, and lies in a unique triangle of GnG_n. This leads to the notions of a rectangular ear, its attachment pair, and its support edge. We also prove that Rect(n)\mathrm{Rect}^*(n) is an independent set in GnG_n, so the weak rectangular contour is not a graph-theoretic chain but a discrete rear marker family. For every genuinely rear rectangular ear, namely for a,b3a,b\ge3, we show that its support edge lies in a tetrahedral configuration of the clique complex Kn=Cl(Gn)K_n=\mathrm{Cl}(G_n). To organize the interaction between different ears, we introduce support zones, support distances, and support corridors between attachment pairs. The paper also records a natural divisor-theoretic indexing of the rectangular family, presents a computational atlas in small and large ranges, and concludes with open problems concerning support-zone connectivity, inter-ear corridors, and canonical rear contours in GnG_n.
