Let z:Point2z : \mathrm{Point2}z:Point2 be any point of the Euclidean plane, and let swapPoint\mathrm{swapPoint}swapPoint be the coordinate-swap map z↦mkPoint2 (z 1) (z 0)z \mapsto \mathrm{mkPoint2}\,(z\,1)\,(z\,0)z↦mkPoint2(z1)(z0). Then swapping twice is the identity:

swapPoint (swapPoint z)=z.{\mathrm{swapPoint}\,(\mathrm{swapPoint}\,z) = z.}swapPoint(swapPointz)=z.

This identity is used only inside the two nonsingular-point lemmas: the ∂0\partial_0∂0​ case (nonsingular_point_has_infinite_zeroSet_of_partial0) is derived from the ∂1\partial_1∂1​ case by renaming the two variables of the polynomial with the swap and moving points with swapPoint\mathrm{swapPoint}swapPoint. The identity shows that swapPoint\mathrm{swapPoint}swapPoint is injective and that it maps the zero set of the renamed polynomial onto the zero set of the original one. The pair-intersection analysis does not swap coordinates.
