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.

The tangent plane is invariant under regular reparametrization

Statement

Regular reparametrizations preserve the tangent plane at corresponding interior parameter points.

Precisely, if $ψ = φ \circ h$ and $(s, t)$ is interior, then $span {ψ_{s}, ψ_{t}} = span {φ_{u}, φ_{v}} ∣_{h (s, t)} .$

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A regular reparametrization $ψ = φ \circ h$ and an interior parameter point $(s, t)$ .

[L1]

The tangent plane is the span of the two parameter derivatives (The tangent plane of a regular surface patch), and a regular reparametrization is induced by a parameter diffeomorphism (Surface reparametrizations and their orientation sign).

[L2]

The chain rule gives $D ψ = D φ \circ D h$ , and total derivatives applied to standard basis vectors are the parameter partial derivatives (The chain rule for total derivatives: $D (g \circ f) (a) = D g (f (a)) \circ D f (a)$ , A total derivative computes every directional derivative, and its matrix is the Jacobian).

Proof

1.1givenL1L2

By [L2], each of $ψ_{s}$ and $ψ_{t}$ is a linear combination of $φ_{u}$ and $φ_{v}$ at $h (s, t)$ , so the new tangent span is contained in the old one.

2.1step 1.1L1L2

Apply the same argument to the inverse parameter diffeomorphism $h^{- 1}$ ; it expresses $φ_{u}$ and $φ_{v}$ as linear combinations of $ψ_{s}$ and $ψ_{t}$ , giving the reverse containment.

3.1step 1.1step 2.1∎

The two spans are equal. Invertibility of $D h$ ensures neither independent tangent pair loses rank.
