:: Because of the Claim 2, one of the old steps projects into a step of another old size and into one of those intervals, which depends on if its genspan was negative or positive (equivalently, if it sat on a lower or upper diagonal).

: '''CLAIM 3b''': That means if new steps aren't the same size, that one is a new size.

:: ''(To be proven later.)''
:: For now, a meh proof from contradiction: if the new steps are unequal and both happened before, then there should've been steps of both sizes in a scale one generator less, but there's also a third step size that was just split, so there were three step sizes in that scale, whereas we postulated just two.
