You will note from the definition of the hypothesis set:

contains functions which are +1 for
You only get to vary

, and so the two spheres are restricted to be centered on the origin.
And yes, the

for this hypothesis set is very related to the growth function for positive intervals.

Does it make sense to move project the spheres from 3D to 1D and look at the problem as intervals of +1 for a<=x<=b and -a>=x>=b?
