How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T20627086 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Radon’s theorem
Radon’s theorem is a fundamental result in convex geometry stating that any set of sufficiently many points in Euclidean space can be partitioned into two disjoint subsets whose convex hulls intersect.
-
B.
Helly’s theorem
