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 isotropic oscillator: the explicit flow, and
Example
Let , with coordinates , and . Then:
- and its flow is , defined for all ;
- the derivative satisfies , , and for all , in accordance with The derivative of the Hamiltonian flow satisfies and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Hamiltonian on and the matrix .
Hamiltonian field (The Hamiltonian field of a function on a phase domain is , and the Poisson bracket is ): , , so ; hence the flow solves , .
Trigonometric calculus (The derivatives of sine and cosine are cosine and minus sine, The addition formulas for sine and cosine, Sine and cosine defined by their real power series): , , and as displayed is the solution of the linear system with , since differentiating the displayed expressions gives and .
The matrix identity (The derivative of the Hamiltonian flow satisfies and , The standard two-form of a phase domain is closed and nondegenerate, with contraction , The Hessian matrix and critical points of a scalar field): for a Hamiltonian the flow derivative satisfies , and , the Hessian being the matrix of second partial derivatives; here .
Verification
Clause 1: by [F1] the field is and the flow solves the linear system; the displayed satisfies and, by [F2], its derivatives are and , so by uniqueness it is the flow, defined for all real .
Clause 2: differentiating entrywise gives , while ; thus with .
The orthogonality of gives by direct multiplication, and ; hence both conclusions of [F3] hold explicitly for this flow.
