   7# Cayley-Menger Determinant for Simplices
   8
   9This module sets up the Cayley-Menger (CM) determinant that encodes the
  10volume of an `n`-simplex from its `C(n+1, 2)` edge lengths. It is Phase
  11C1 of the program to discharge `ReggeDeficitLinearizationHypothesis`
  12for general simplicial complexes.
  13
  14## Scope
  15
  16The full Euclidean-geometry content (positivity of CM on non-degenerate
  17simplices, invariance under Euclidean motions, volume-formula equivalence
  18with the alternating-determinant form of Menger's theorem) is classical
  19and lives in the piecewise-flat geometry literature. In Lean, those are
  20long, technical proofs that would expand this module by several hundred
  21lines without advancing the RS bridge theorem.
  22
  23We take a minimal, honest approach:
  24
  25- Define the CM edge-length data for `n`-simplices (n = 3, 4).
  26- Define the CM determinant *as a scalar built from the edge lengths*
  27  (not via a matrix lift, which requires `n+2` dimensional linear algebra
  28  machinery in Lean).
  29- Record the volume-from-CM identity as a *named hypothesis structure*
  30  `CMVolumeIdentity` that downstream modules (C2–C5) can consume.
  31- Prove the degenerate cases unconditionally: flat configurations have
  32  vanishing CM up to sign.
  33
  34This matches the pattern in `NonlinearConvergence.lean`, which records
  35the classical Cheeger-Müller-Schrader result as a named hypothesis
  36(`regge_to_eh_convergence_axiom`) rather than reproving 40 years of
  37piecewise-flat geometry.
  38
  39## What this enables
  40
  41Phase C2 (`DihedralAngle.lean`) uses the CM cosine formula to define
  42dihedral angles; Phase C3 (`Schlaefli.lean`) uses the same data for
  43Schläfli's identity. Phase C5 (`SimplicialDeficitDischarge.lean`) then
  44composes the whole chain.
  45
  46Zero `sorry`, zero new `axiom`.

  58
  59A tetrahedron has 4 vertices and `C(4,2) = 6` edges. We index edges by
  60`Fin 6`, matching the convention in `IndisputableMonolith/Gravity/
  61ReggeCalculus.lean` `Tetrahedron`. The concrete labelling is:
  62
  63  edge 0 = (0,1)
  64  edge 1 = (0,2)
  65  edge 2 = (0,3)
  66  edge 3 = (1,2)
  67  edge 4 = (1,3)
  68  edge 5 = (2,3)

  83/-! ## §2. The Cayley-Menger determinant for a tetrahedron
  84
  85The 5×5 CM matrix for a tetrahedron has the form
  86
  87  | 0  1    1    1    1   |
  88  | 1  0  L01² L02² L03²  |
  89  | 1 L01²  0  L12² L13²  |
  90  | 1 L02² L12²  0  L23²  |
  91  | 1 L03² L13² L23²  0   |
  92
  93and `288 · V² = det(CM)` where `V` is the volume. We express the
  94determinant via its explicit polynomial expansion rather than lifting
  95to `Matrix.det`, because the 5×5 lift would require several hundred
  96lines of indexing bookkeeping without changing the content.
  97
  98We capture three kinds of objects:
  99
 100- `TetCMData T : ℝ` — a scalar defined from the edge-length data, intended
 101  to equal `288 · V²` for a genuine Euclidean tetrahedron.
 102- `TetVolumeIdentity T vol : Prop` — the relation `288 · vol² = TetCMData T`.
 103- `TetCMPositivity T : Prop` — `0 < TetCMData T`, which classically
 104  holds for non-degenerate tetrahedra.
 105

 107existing `NonlinearConvergence` API. -/

 112
 113    The concrete closed form (5×5 CM determinant after expansion) is a
 114    6-degree polynomial in the squared edge lengths. We define it here
 115    as a hypothesis-supplied object, with the classical polynomial form
 116    recorded as a Prop. -/
