Worked solution: Kahn–Kalai's disproof of Borsuk's conjecture via the Frankl–Wilson theorem
Now plug the cuts from Step 4 straight into the Frankl–Wilson theorem from Step 3: a 'piece of strictly smaller diameter' in Borsuk's sense is exactly a sub-family of cuts that avoids the one dangerous intersection size, , and the theorem says any such sub-family must be tiny compared to the whole collection. Dividing the (huge) total number of cuts by the (much smaller) largest safe sub-family gives a lower bound on how many pieces are needed — and that ratio turns out to grow like , wildly outpacing the conjectured .
A piece of has strictly smaller diameter exactly when it contains no two cuts with (the minimal-intersection, maximal-distance pairs from Step 4). Applying the Frankl–Wilson theorem of Step 3, with the ground set of size and forbidden intersection size , any such 'safe' sub-family of has size at most . Since itself has elements, partitioning into pieces of smaller diameter requires at least pieces.
A Stirling-approximation computation (carried out for with ranging over prime powers, using the prime number theorem to guarantee prime powers are not too sparse) shows this ratio exceeds once is large enough, which is exponentially larger than the conjectured . Since is a genuine bounded subset of of diameter equal to the maximal distance computed in Step 4, this directly disproves Borsuk's conjecture for all sufficiently large .
