How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Curve velocity coordinates depend on the chart

Statement

False claim: the coordinate tuple of a curve velocity is the same in every chart.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: On the first quadrant $Q : = {(x, y) : x > 0, y > 0}$ , the curve $γ (t) = (1 + t, 1)$ through $(1, 1)$ for $t$ near $0$ , together with the Cartesian chart and the polar chart $ψ (x, y) = (\sqrt{x^{2} + y^{2}}, \arctan (y / x)) .$

[L1]

Tangent coordinates change by the Jacobian of the coordinate transition (Change-of-coordinate formula for tangent bases).

1.1givenalgebra

At $t = 0$ , the Cartesian velocity of $γ$ is $γ^{'} (0) = (1, 0) .$ In polar coordinates, $r (t) = \sqrt{(1 + t)^{2} + 1}, θ (t) = \arctan ⁣ (\frac{1}{1 + t}),$ so $r^{'} (0) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, θ^{'} (0) = - \frac{1}{2} .$ Thus the polar coordinate tuple of the same velocity is $(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}, - \frac{1}{2}) .$

2.1L1step 1.1

The two coordinate tuples from step 1.1 are not equal. This is consistent with [L1], which says they are related by the Jacobian of the coordinate change, not by identity.

Hence the coordinate tuple of a curve velocity need not be the same in two different charts. The statement is false.

Dependency tree · two levels

2 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
