Abstract: | We consider realization spaces of a family of oriented matroids of rank three as point configurations in the affine plane. The fundamental problem arises as to which way these realization spaces partition their embedding space. The Universal Partition Theorem roughly states that such a partition can be as complicated as any partition of ℝ n into elementary semialgebraic sets induced by an arbitrary finite set of polynomials in ℤ[X]. We present the first proof of the Universal Partition Theorem. In particular, it includes the first complete proof of the so-called Universality Theorem.
