In a strictly increasing chain of non-empty finsets, the $i$-th term has cardinality at least $i+1$.
Core filler: if $|U \setminus L| \ge 2$, pick two distinct elements $a, b$ and form $L \cup \{a\}$, $L \cup \{b\}$, giving two distinct intermediate proper non-empty finsets.
Earlier terms of a strictly-increasing chain are subsets of later terms.
Proof of FinsetChainGapHyp: any length-$(n-2)$ chain of proper non-empty subsets of
$\mathrm{Fin}\ n$ contains a position where two distinct insertions fit, by analysing
where cardinalities first deviate from the "tight" pattern $|S_i| = i+1$.
Instances For
For an $F$-compatible $V$, the extracted finset $S$ satisfies $V = \bigoplus_{i \in S} F.\mathrm{lines}\ i$.
Proof of FrameFinsetCorrespondenceHyp: bundle the bijection between $F$-compatible
subspaces and subsets of $\mathrm{Fin}\ n$ via extractFinset and $S \mapsto \bigoplus_{i \in S} L_i$.
