The energy of a vertex partition for a pair-color system #
For a pair-color system S with a finite palette on a finite vertex type V, and a partition P
of the vertices, every ordered distinct pair (u, v) lies in the block P.part u ×ˢ P.part v.
The energy of P is the mean, over the |V| (|V| - 1) ordered distinct pairs, of the squared
color densities of the blocks through them:
S.energy P = (∑ (u, v), ∑ c, d_c(P.part u, P.part v)²) / |V| (|V| - 1),
where d_c = pairColorDensity S c is taken among ordered distinct pairs. This is the index of a
vertex partition for a coloring of pairs, with one term for each color; it is the pair-level
analogue of the polyad energy TauCeti.Colored3Graph.polyadEnergy. Diagonal blocks A ×ˢ A are
included, with their densities taken among distinct pairs.
The block density of c at (u, v) is the average over the block of the indicator that a pair has
color c. Hence weighting any function constant on blocks by these densities is the same as
summing it over the pairs of color c (TauCeti.PairColorSystem.sum_pairColorDensity_part_mul).
Consequently, for a refinement Q ≤ P, the mean square deviation of the fine block densities
from the coarse ones is exactly the energy gap
(TauCeti.PairColorSystem.sum_sq_pairColorDensity_sub_div_eq_energy_sub), so the energy does not
decrease under refinement and lies in [0, 1]. Since each block contributes a term in [0, 1],
moving a few points between parts changes the energy only a little, even when neither partition
refines the other.
If a family of coarse blocks has rectangles X ×ˢ Y inside them whose sides are unions of parts
of Q, each carrying a positive proportion of its block and a color density far from the block
density, then the energy of Q exceeds that of P by a definite amount
(TauCeti.PairColorSystem.energy_increment_of_witnesses). Applied to the witnesses of irregular
pairs of parts, this is the energy increment of the regularity lemma for pair-color systems.

Block densities are conditional expectations. If φ is constant on each block
P.part u ×ˢ P.part v, then weighting φ at each ordered distinct pair by the density of c on
the block through it gives the sum of φ over the pairs of color c.
On a rectangle X ×ˢ Y whose sides are unions of parts of Q, the block densities of c sum,
over the ordered distinct pairs of the rectangle, to the number of its pairs of color c.
Cauchy–Schwarz on a resolved rectangle. For a rectangle X ×ˢ Y whose sides are unions of
parts of Q, the squared deviation of the density of c on the rectangle from any real number
a, multiplied by the number of ordered distinct pairs of the rectangle, is at most the sum over
those pairs of the squared deviations of the block densities of Q from a.
The energy of a partition P of the vertices for the pair-color system S: the mean,
over the ordered distinct pairs (u, v), of ∑ c, d_c(P.part u, P.part v)², where
d_c = pairColorDensity S c is the density of c among the ordered distinct pairs of a block. It
is 0 when V has fewer than two vertices.

The energy is nonnegative.
The squared color densities of a pair of sets sum to at most one, since the densities lie in
[0, 1] and sum to at most one.
The energy is at most one, since on each block the color densities lie in [0, 1] and sum to
at most one.
Energy is stable under moving few points. If two partitions have the same part through
every point outside a set B, then their energies differ by at most 2 #B |V| divided by the
number |V| (|V| - 1) of ordered distinct pairs: only the blocks through pairs meeting B
change, and each contributes a term in [0, 1].
Refinement #
Refinement defect identity. For a refinement Q ≤ P, the mean over the ordered distinct
pairs of the squared deviations of the block densities of Q from those of P, summed over
colors, equals the energy gap.
Monotonicity under refinement. If Q refines P, the energy of Q is at least the
energy of P.
A resolved witness forces a gain on its block. Let A ×ˢ B be a block of parts of P,
and let X ×ˢ Y ⊆ A ×ˢ B be a rectangle whose sides are unions of parts of Q. If the rectangle
has at least an α-fraction of the ordered distinct pairs of the block, and its density of c is
at least δ away from that of the block, then the squared deviations of the block densities of
Q from those of P, summed over the colors and over the ordered distinct pairs of the block,
total at least α δ² times the number of those pairs.
Resolved witnesses force an energy gain. Let Q refine P, and let B be a family of
pairs of parts of P. For each block A ×ˢ B in the family choose a color and a rectangle
X ×ˢ Y ⊆ A ×ˢ B whose sides are unions of parts of Q. If each rectangle has at least an
α-fraction of the ordered distinct pairs of its block, and a color density at least δ away
from the density on the block, then the energy gap is at least α δ² times the proportion of
ordered distinct pairs lying in the blocks of the family.
