Mathematical analysis demonstrates that even-order Grünschloß–Keller point sets form (0,m,2)-nets for all even m ≥ 4, confirming a long-standing open conjecture.
Grünschloß and Keller (2009) constructed two-dimensional base-2 point sets with large minimum toroidal distance by a nonlinear permutation rule. For odd m they proved that the 2^m points form a (0,m,2)-net; for even m they verified the net property by computer through m = 22 and left a proof open. This note proves that the even-order construction is a (0,m,2)-net for every even m ≥ 4. The proof writes the first coordinate as an exact concatenation of ⌊k/4⌋ and a bit-reversal term and inverts every dyadic prefix map explicitly. For the row-shifted tiling metric of the source, the minimum squared distance on the integer scale 2^m equals 241·2^(m−8) for every even m ≥ 8, the value the source reported from computation for 8 ≤ m ≤ 22; equality holds for exactly 2^(m−2) pairs. A Lean 4 development (Lean 4.30.0, Mathlib v4.30.0, standard axioms only, kernel reduction only) checks the net theorem for every even m ≥ 4, the upper bound for every even m ≥ 8, and the exact minimum at m = 8 over all pairs and lattice translates. Three independent exact generators reproduce the point sets and the distances, with all pairs through m = 16 and the reduced cases of the proof through m = 30. Included materials.
