Quadratic sign-vector diameter formula ($\Vert u_A{u}_A^T-u_B{u}_B^T{\Vert }_F^2=2(N^2-(4|A\cap B|-4p+3{)}^2)$)

Take $N=4p-1$, $|A|=|B|=2p-1$ and sign vectors $u_A=21_A-1$. The Frobenius inner product of two outer products is $(u_A\cdot u_B{)}^2$, proving the formula. The squared Euclidean distance is largest precisely when $|A\cap B|=p-1$, where the inner product is minus one. The common diagonal can be deleted, leaving an isometric representation in dimension $\left(\genfrac{}{}{0ex}{}{N}{2}\right)$ if off-diagonal coordinates are multiplied by $\sqrt{2}$. The Frankl-Wilson theorem then bounds each smaller-diameter class.
