Gluing local and exterior incidence routes #
Two simple orthogonal routes can be joined at a common endpoint when their full real supports intersect only there. The joined route is again simple and orthogonal; existing subdivision lemmas identify its support, final endpoint, segment list, and Manhattan wire length.
Main results #
head_mem_segment_endpoint,last_mem_segment_endpoint: an endpoint of a simple route can occur on a segment only as a segment endpoint.isOrthogonal_join,isSimple_join: geometric correctness of endpoint gluing.

These finite polygonal-route gluing lemmas and proofs are original.
A simple route's initial listed vertex can lie on one of its segments only as an endpoint.
A simple route's final listed vertex can lie on one of its segments only as an endpoint.
Joining properly orthogonal routes at their common listed endpoint remains orthogonal.
Joining simple routes whose only continuous intersection is their common endpoint introduces neither repeated listed points nor forbidden segment contacts.
