True clusters

Lloyd's algorithm: assign each point to its nearest centroid, then move each centroid to the mean of its members. Repeat until stable. Try setting k different from the true cluster count.

Governing equation

J = k = 1 \sum 4 x \in C_{k} \sum ∥ x - μ_{k} ∥^{2}, μ_{k} = \frac{1}{∣ C _{k} ∣} x \in C_{k} \sum x

Reading this result: k matches the 4 true clusters, so each centroid can settle onto one real group and inertia falls to a clean minimum.
