Separating-line conjecture for two point sets in the Cartesian plane

From papers

Let X0X_{0} and X1X_{1} be two sets of points in the Cartesian plane. Assume that no two line segments determined by four distinct points, with exactly two points from one set, intersect unless the endpoints of one segment belong to different sets. Let AA and BB be the two disjoint regions into which a line l1l_{1} divides the plane, excluding points on the line. Separating-line conjecture. There exists at least one line l1l_{1} such that X0AX_{0} \subset A and X1BX_{1} \subset B; no line segment joining two points of the same set meets l1l_{1}; and every line segment joining points from different sets meets l1l_{1}. This conjecture is introduced as a geometric foundation for the proposed binary-classification algorithm; the source provides no resolution or proof status beyond presenting it as a conjecture.
