didericis a8af5612c4 coloring_nested_tire_graphs: figure showing low-side face uniqueness failure
Concrete picture demonstrating "low-side faces span multiple
parent faces of H_{d-1}":

  - H_{d-1} drawn as the outer blue circle.
  - H_d as a smaller nested orange circle inside.
  - Face A of H_d (high-side, inside inner cycle): a small disk,
    sits entirely inside face X of H_{d-1}. Unique parent. ✓
  - Face B of H_d (low-side, outside inner cycle): RED REGION
    spanning across the H_{d-1} cycle. It is one connected face
    of ℝ² \ H_d, but it intersects BOTH face X (annulus between
    cycles) and face Y (exterior of H_{d-1}). Neither X nor Y
    contains all of B → no unique parent. ✗

This makes the uniqueness step's failure visible: the forest
proposition's containment argument works for high-side (= face A,
nested inside) but fails for low-side (= face B, spanning across).

The motivation section of the note now has 3 figures:
  1. Low-side spans uniqueness failure (this commit, page 1)
  2. T_∂ thick-H_1 hexagon (page 2)
  3. T_∂ thin-H_1 tree (page 2)
Plus the nested-cut-tires figure on page 3.
