Short-root neighbours of long roots in type F4 #

The integral span of the short-root weights detects every coroot. Together with the F4 length bounds, this supplies a descending-free root string through each long root.

Every long F₄ root has a short neighbour one step away in a descending-free root string. Concretely, for a long root α there is a short root β with ⟨β, α∨⟩ = -1; then β + α is a short root and the root string through β in the α direction has bottom coefficient zero.
