For arbitrary natural d, positive n and arbitrary real vectors v_0,...,v_(n-1) in R^d, define Z as the actual sum over all n^2 ordered pairs of closed segments [v_i,v_j], with explicit coefficients in [0,1]. Define Q={q: q+v_i belongs to Z for every original generator i}. Prove Z and Q are compact and convex, Q is nonempty, and Z=conv(v_i)+Q as whole sets. In particular the specified finite convex hull is an actual Minkowski summand of this explicit segment-sum completion. No summand, support equality, rank, independence, full dimension, distinct generators, or generic objective is assumed. The construction includes repeated/interior generators, lower dimensions, d=0 and n=1. The n^2 count is the number of presented segment positions, including diagonal and repeated positions, not the number of irredundant facets or a minimal generator count. No original-edge route or polynomial-in-H-row bound is concluded.

Concrete completion obligation after accepted #309 summand route contraction and #310 arbitrary original-H endpoint lifting. Neither accepted theorem is resubmitted or imported as an assumption: this independent complete construction supplies a genuine finite-generator summand equality. The direct support witness chooses a maximizing original generator k and chooses v_k on all ordered segment slots (k,i), then a single endpoint replacement proves all generator translations lie in Z. Standard pinned Mathlib compactness and Hahn-Banach separation finish whole-set equality. The classical normal-fan/Minkowski-summand viewpoint is credited, e.g. Deformed Graphical Zonotopes, Discrete & Computational Geometry (2023), DOI10.1007/s00454-023-00586-x; no historical-priority or best-completion claim is made. Generator count and original-facet count are explicitly separated.
