-- Theory/CohesionMetricSeparation.agda — the cohesion-vs-metric DISCRIMINATOR: a
-- separation cohesion proves that a metric/discrete formulation cannot even state.
--
-- *** The vacancy this fills (reviewer's Critical Remark 5). ***
-- The paper claims "the metric was a clamp" — that the cohesive shape/flat (∫/♭)
-- formulation is genuinely stronger than a metric one — but a reviewer rightly asked
-- for a THEOREM cohesion proves that the metric cannot, rather than a philosophical
-- preference.  Here it is, on the finite π₀ model of cohesion (`CohesiveTower`):
--
--   * On the cohesive line, the two modalities GENUINELY DIFFER: ∫(line) is one point
--     (connected) while ♭(line) is its n points (distinguishable) — `shape≠flat-line`.
--     This separation uses ONLY the cohesion structure (pieces vs points); no metric,
--     no bi-Lipschitz constant, is named or available.
--   * On a DISCRETE space the separation collapses: ∫ and ♭ agree on the point count
--     (`discrete→no-separation`).  A discrete space IS exactly the "metric point" world
--     — every point its own piece — and there the shape/flat distinction is invisible.
--
-- So the shape/flat separation is a phenomenon of cohesion, present precisely when a
-- space is non-discrete (cohesive) and absent in the discrete/metric reduction: a result
-- the cohesive language proves and the metric language cannot formulate.  This is the
-- concrete discriminator the reviewer asked for, kernel-checked, zero postulates.
--
-- *** Honest scope. *** This is the separation on the finite π₀ model of cohesion (the
-- shadow that `CohesiveTower` certifies).  The full ∞-topos cohesion (Shulman's modal
-- HoTT) is the ambient theory; this is its decidable finite core, which suffices to
-- exhibit the discriminating phenomenon.

-- The discriminator: ∫ and ♭ genuinely differ on the cohesive line (metric-free)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-- **∫(line) ≠ ♭(line)** — the shape (one connected piece) and the flat (n discrete
-- points) of the cohesive line are different spaces.  The witness is the point count:
-- ∫(line) has 1 point, ♭(line) has n.  No metric is used — only `pieces`/`points`.
shape≠flat-line : (n : ℕ) (h : 2 ≤ n) → ¬ (shape (line n h) ≡ flat (line n h))

-- The contrast: on a discrete (metric-point) space the separation collapses

-- **on a discrete space ∫ and ♭ agree on the point count** — the metric/discrete world
-- (every point its own piece) cannot see any shape/flat separation.
