(Theorem 14.3, auxiliary) Analytic core: a point in the 0-sublevel set of the Fenchel
biconjugate of k = posHomHull f lies in the closed conic hull of {x | f x ≤ 0}.
(Theorem 14.3, auxiliary) Recession directions of the Fenchel biconjugate (k*)* lie in the
closure of the recession directions of k.
This is the missing structural bridge in the conic-separation proof of Theorem 14.3.
(Theorem 14.3, auxiliary) Geometric conversion step for the separation proof.
This is the missing implication in the contradiction argument: if a point x : E is nonpositive
under every functional in the closed cone generated by {φ | f* φ ≤ 0}, then x lies in the
closed cone generated by {x | f x ≤ 0}.
The textbook proof routes this through the positively-homogeneous hull k of f, the conjugacy
(cl k)* = ι_{ {φ | f* φ ≤ 0} }, and the polar/recession correspondence (Theorem 14.2).
