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.

A uniform one-body energy changes fixed-activity ideal-gas pressure

Physical scope

Ideal positional gas of one operationally indistinguishable species in a bounded three-dimensional Euclidean cube, at fixed dimensionless activity, positive inverse-energy parameter and physical temperature, with a spatially uniform one-body energy c_SI>0 joules per particle. Pressure is the reduced log-partition rate converted by k_BT per physical volume. This is a conditional model calculation only; it reports no observation and is outside the square-count exterior-boundary hypothesis of the cited theorem.

Statement refuted

At fixed positive activity, adding a spatially uniform one-body energy to each particle never changes the thermodynamic grand pressure.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: Assume AC. Let d=3, ΛL=[0,L)3 in numerical coordinates, one species with operationally indistinguishable particles, unit-intensity Poisson reference QΛL, reference scales E0>0 joules and ℓ0>0 metres, temperature T>0 kelvin, Boltzmann constant kB>0 J/K, reference action href>0 J s, particle mass mp>0 kg, chemical potential μ∈R joules, and uniform one-body energy cSI>0 joules per particle. Set βSI=(kBT)−1, λT=href/2πmpkBT, physical activity zc=eβSIμλT−3, α=log⁡(ℓ03zc), and dimensionless β=E0βSI, z=eα=ℓ03zc, and c=cSI/E0.

[A1]

The current draft Interacting classical Gibbs equilibrium adoption adopts finite-region Gibbs conditional laws when normalizers are positive and finite; the current draft Classical particle counting and physical observables supplies the 1/N! sector factor for operationally indistinguishable particles. For this model, identify its locally prescribed action reference with href as required by the adopted thermal-wavelength convention of Interacting classical Gibbs equilibrium adoption; this equality is a declared common-reference choice, not a numerical value supplied by the counting postulate. These are an adopted postulate and reference convention, not proven claims.

[A2]

The current draft Classical Gibbs quantities and SI reference conventions defines βSI=(kBT)−1 and continuum activity zc=eβSIμλT−3 with λT=href/2πmpkBT.

[A3]

Set the pair potential to ϕ≡0. For each uniform energy cSI≥0, additionally adopt the ideal positional grand-sector weight zNe−βcN at fixed physical activity zc. Numerical coordinates satisfy xSI=ℓ0q, so zcNd3NxSI=zNd3Nq and βSIcSI=βc. Define its standard positional grand partition by ΞLc=∑N≥0(zN/N!)∫ΛLNe−βcN dq1⋯dqN. Define its reduced pressure as p(c)=lim⁡L→∞L−3log⁡ΞLc and SI pressure by PSI(c)=(kBT/ℓ03)p(c). Here α,z,β,c are dimensionless. This is an explicit ideal-gas model and pressure convention, conditional on [A1] and [A2], not an empirical claim.

[A4]

Assume the Axiom of Choice The Axiom of Choice, as required by the unit-Poisson reference and its count-properties theorem.

[F1]

Qualified interacting continuum thermodynamic and positional ensemble limits restricts its uniform exterior-pressure conclusion to the stated square-count exterior class. A one-body term cN throughout the volume is not an exterior boundary configuration in that class.

[F2]

Poisson Configuration Reference defines the unit-intensity Poisson reference Q and its bounded-region restrictions QD.

[F3]

Stable finite-range continuum specification normalization and consistency states that for bounded Borel D and N≥0, the N-point sector of QD is the pushforward of e−∣D∣/N! times product Lebesgue measure on ordered simple tuples.

[F4]

Poisson Reference Counts and Translation Invariance gives NΛL∼Poisson(L3) and the exact exponential moment EQesNΛL=exp⁡(L3(es−1)).

[F5]

The real exponential function and the number e by a power series defines exp⁡ by its real power series; The exponential addition formula exp⁡(x+y)=exp⁡(x)exp⁡(y) gives exp⁡(x+y)=exp⁡(x)exp⁡(y), and The exponential function is strictly increasing gives strict monotonicity.

[F6]

The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function defines log⁡ as the inverse of the real exponential, so exp⁡(log⁡x)=x for x>0.

Under [A3], an N-particle configuration has numerical positional energy HNc=cN. Its unit-Poisson normalized grand partition is ZQ,Lc=EQΛL ⁣[eαNΛLe−βcNΛL]=EQΛLe(α−βc)NΛL=exp⁡ ⁣(L3(eα−βc−1)) by [F4] and the exponential addition law [F5].

By [F3], the N-point sector of QΛL contributes e−L3/N! times the positional integral in [A3]. Summing sectors therefore gives ZQ,Lc=e−L3ΞLc, so [A3] yields ΞLc=exp⁡(L3eα−βc). Its reduced pressure is p(c)=lim⁡L→∞L−3log⁡ΞLc=eα−βc by [F6]. The SI conversion in [A3] is PSI(c)=E0p(c)/(βℓ03) pascals.

3.1A3F1F5step 2.1algebra∎

Repeating steps 1.1–2.1 in the cSI=0 member of [A3]'s model family gives p(0)=eα. For the selected cSI>0, βc=βSIcSI>0, so strict monotonicity [F5] yields p(c)=eα−βc<eα=p(0). The fixed-activity SI pressures differ by the same positive factor E0/(βℓ03), while the volume term is not covered by the restricted exterior-boundary theorem in [F1]. Thus the stated universal claim is false.
