Integer-grid isolation for local drawing replacements #
An orthogonal segment with integer endpoints that enters the open box of radius 1 about an
integer point must contain that integer point. In a simple route, only the initial segment can
contain its initial vertex. These facts supply uniform local isolation without searching for a
drawing-dependent real radius.

These integer-grid separation observations and proofs are original.
Distinct grid points are not within the open box of radius 1 about one another.
Entering the open box of radius 1 about a grid point forces an integer orthogonal segment
to contain that grid point. The statement concerns all real points of the segment.
A nonincident integer vertex has a whole open box of radius 1 disjoint from an orthogonal
route.
The open box of radius 1 about the initial vertex of a simple orthogonal route meets only
the route's first segment.
The tail of a simple proper orthogonal route avoids the entire open box of radius 1 about
the route's initial grid vertex.
Endpoint cutting preserves a route's orthogonality.
Moving the initial endpoint forward within its first segment preserves continuous simplicity. No repeated point or contact with a later segment is introduced.
