We solve a generalised form of a conjecture of Kalai motivated by attempts to
improve the bounds for Borsuk's problem. The conjecture can be roughly
understood as asking for an analogue of the Frankl-R\"odl forbidden
intersection theorem in which set intersections are vector-valued. We discover
that the vector world is richer in surprising ways: in particular, Kalai's
conjecture is false, but we prove a corrected statement that is essentially
best possible, and applies to a considerably more general setting. Our methods
include the use of maximum entropy measures, VC-dimension, Dependent Random
Choice and a new correlation inequality for product measures.Comment: 40 page
