Boundary Framework, Rear Morphology, and Rectangular Ears in the Partition Graph
Abstract
We study the outer geometry of the partition graph , 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 , where is the main chain and are the left and right side edges, and we isolate the nontrivial rectangular family as a canonical discrete family marking the rear part of . We prove that every nontrivial rectangular vertex has degree , has exactly two explicitly described neighbors, and lies in a unique triangle of . This leads to the notions of a rectangular ear, its attachment pair, and its support edge. We also prove that is an independent set in , 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 , we show that its support edge lies in a tetrahedral configuration of the clique complex . 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 .
