The lineality space of a convex set is a submodule.
The lineality space is contained in the direction of the affine span.
Rank zero forces the affine span direction to be the lineality submodule.
Rank zero implies the set is a translate of its lineality space.
An affine subspace has rank zero.
Theorem 8.4.7. Let C be a non-empty convex set. Then C has rank 0 if and only if C
is an affine set.
Rank equals dimension iff the lineality span has finrank zero.
A nonzero lineality direction yields a line contained in the image.
A line contained in the image yields a nonzero lineality direction.
Theorem 8.4.8. The rank of a closed convex set equals its dimension if and only if the set contains no lines.
