A three-point affine combination as a line map of two line maps.
Helper lemma: an affine set is the carrier of some affine subspace.
Submodules are affine sets.
Text 1.2.1: If M ⊆ Real^n is affine and a ∈ Real^n, then the translate a + M
is an affine set.
Parallel submodules to the same affine set are equal.
Theorem 1.2: Each non-empty affine set M is parallel to a unique subspace L;
this L is given by L = M - M = {x - y | x ∈ M, y ∈ M}.
Text 1.4: The dimension of a non-empty affine set is defined as the dimension of the
subspace parallel to it. (The dimension of ∅ is -1 by convention.)

The kernel of dotProductLinear is the zero dot-product set.
A nonzero vector gives a nonzero dot-product functional.
Any nonzero linear functional on Fin n → ℝ is a dot-product functional.
The kernel of a nonzero dot-product functional has dimension n - 1.
Nonzero linear functionals with the same kernel are scalar multiples.
Theorem 1.3: Given β : Real and non-zero b : Real^n, the set
{x | ⟪x, b⟫ = β} is a hyperplane in Real^n. Moreover, every hyperplane admits such
a representation, with b and β unique up to a common non-zero multiple.
The affine hull is contained in any affine set that contains S.
The affine hull of a set is itself affine.
