Incidence correspondence between ball intersections and ball-hull boundaries

Let K={p1,p2,,pn}K=\{p_1,p_2,\dots,p_n\} be a finite set in a normed plane M2\mathbb{M}^2, and let λλK\lambda\geq\lambda_K. The ball intersection bi(K,λ)\operatorname{bi}(K,\lambda) and the ball hull bh(K,λ)\operatorname{bh}(K,\lambda) are the corresponding ball-intersection and ball-hull constructions for KK at radius λ\lambda; an arc of bi(K,λ)\operatorname{bi}(K,\lambda) is generated by a vertex of bh(K,λ)\operatorname{bh}(K,\lambda), and a vertex of bi(K,λ)\operatorname{bi}(K,\lambda) is the center of an arc on the boundary of bh(K,λ)\operatorname{bh}(K,\lambda). Ball-hull and ball-intersection correspondence conjecture. Every arc of bi(K,λ)\operatorname{bi}(K,\lambda) is generated by a vertex of bh(K,λ)\operatorname{bh}(K,\lambda), and every vertex of bi(K,λ)\operatorname{bi}(K,\lambda) is the center of an arc belonging to the boundary of bh(K,λ)\operatorname{bh}(K,\lambda).

The statement describes the expected dual correspondence between arcs and vertices of the ball intersection and ball hull. The supplied text gives no resolution or supporting theorem for the claim, and the notation bi(K,λ)\operatorname{bi}(K,\lambda) is not defined in the provided context.
