Reduction from Negative Triangle Detection to Metricity

FROM: Negative Triangle Detection TO: Metricity

Implications

if: to-time: $O(n^{2}) + T(O(n), O(M))$ where the metricity problem is on $(n)$ s.t. all distances are in $(-M, M)$, and $T(n,M)$ is nondecreasing
then: from-time: $O(n^{2}) + T(O(n), O(M))$
