Use four parts indexed by 0,1,2,3 in a cyclic group G, and include the triple missing part i when Li​∈A. A transversal three-uniform tetrahedron then has the four values S1​−iS0​, where S0​=∑j​xj​ and S1​=∑j​jxj​, so it encodes a four-term arithmetic progression. Constant progressions give ∣A∣∣G∣2 edge-disjoint tetrahedra. This is the bridge from the tetrahedron removal lemma to the Szemerédi theorem.
