(* gauss_jordan_single_rank is crucial in this section *)
subsection "Showing invertibility preserved when reducing"

(* Overall:
  Start with a matrix equation.
  Input a matrix, subsets, and signs.
  Drop columns of the matrix based on the 0's on the LHS---so extract a list of 0's. Reduce signs accordingly.
  Then find a list of rows to delete based on using rank (use the transpose result, pivot positions!),
   and delete those rows.  Reduce subsets accordingly.
  End with a reduced system! *)
