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.
Characteristic-cell overlap remapping preserves mass and positivity
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and the finite measurable positive-volume partition hypotheses in Characteristic-cell overlap remapping for a conservative density. For nonnegative source averages , the characteristic-cell overlap remap satisfies for every arrival cell and In particular, it satisfies The proof applies Overlap remapping is an L2 projection, conservative and positive to the source partition and departure partition ; its stated Countable Choice assumption is included here.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice, finite measurable positive-volume source and arrival partitions of the periodic box, the exact characteristic flow, and nonnegative source averages.
Overlap remapping is an L2 projection, conservative and positive: under its stated Countable Choice and finite partition hypotheses, the overlap averages are nonnegative for nonnegative source values and satisfy .
The Axiom of Countable Choice (): every countable family of nonempty sets has a choice function; this axiom is assumed by the overlap theorem and by the local departure-volume lemma.
A periodic C1 characteristic map is an orientation-preserving diffeomorphism: the exact flow is a diffeomorphism on the periodic lift and hence a bijection on the torus.
Characteristic departure cells are measurable and have positive finite volume: under Countable Choice, the departure cells form a measurable partition and each has positive finite volume.
Proof
By [F3] the characteristic map is bijective on the torus, and [F4] makes the departure cells a measurable positive-volume partition. Thus the source and departure partitions meet the finite-partition hypotheses of [F2]. Applying [F2] to the source values in [F1] gives for every and the departure-mass identity . The Countable Choice assumption [A1] is exactly the axiom branch required by [F2] and [F4].
Since [F4] gives and each arrival cell has , [F1] scales the nonnegative by the positive ratio , so . Also term by term. Summing this equality and substituting the identity from step 1.1 proves the asserted total mass equality.
Remarks
The batch-63 definition and theorem bodies have been inspected. The theorem assumes Countable Choice and finite measurable partitions with positive cell volumes; the departure-volume lemma supplies measurability and positive volume for , while the periodic grid supplies those properties for . The cited PE17 carriers are drafts, and this Step 1 contract records mathematical and dependency readiness only; it does not claim independent approval.
