Uniqueness of the adjacent cluster under mutation

Let (x,p,B)(\mathbf x, \mathbf p, B) denote a seed in the cluster algebra with coefficients, or let (x,B)(\mathbf x,B) denote a seed in the coefficient-free cluster algebra. A cluster is the set of cluster variables underlying the seed. Uniqueness of the adjacent cluster under mutation. Any seed (x,p,B)(\mathbf x, \mathbf p, B), or (x,B)(\mathbf x,B), is uniquely determined by its cluster x\mathbf x. Thus, for any cluster x\mathbf x and any xxx\in\mathbf x, there is a unique cluster x\mathbf x' such that xx=x{x}\mathbf x'\cap\mathbf x=\mathbf x\setminus\{x\}. This asserts that each cluster variable determines a unique neighboring cluster obtained by replacing it, so the exchange graph and cluster complex have the expected mutation structure; the supplied context does not indicate whether the claim is proved or remains open.
