2Authored explanation

The regular four-simplex gives b(4)≥5, while the current checked upper bound is b(4)≤8.

This leaves the following boundary unresolved: Determine whether b(4)=5; equivalently, prove five smaller-diameter parts always suffice or construct a unit-diameter set requiring at least six. The distinction is retained here so a restricted theorem, finite computation, or neighboring case is not presented as a solution of the full target.
