  /- Choose countably many linear maps `f' z`. For every such map, if `f` has a derivative at `x`
    close enough to `f' z`, then `f y - f x` is well approximated by `f' z (y - x)` for `y` close
    enough to `x`, say on a ball of radius `r` (or even `u n` for some `n`, where `u` is a fixed
    sequence tending to `0`).
    Let `M n z` be the points where this happens. Then this set is relatively closed inside `s`,
    and moreover in every closed ball of radius `u n / 3` inside it the map is well approximated by
    `f' z`. Using countably many closed balls to split `M n z` into small diameter subsets
    `K n z p`, one obtains the desired sets `t q` after reindexing.
