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 harmonic model worked through: an explicit complete integral, its characteristic motion, and the action-angle chart with and period-one frequency
A worked instance of the Hamilton-Jacobi and action-angle items inside the declared scalar harmonic model, identified with the generalized-coordinate presentation of the explicit straight-line immersion into a three-dimensional force model: for one label of mass and spring constant , the explicit family is a complete integral of the model's Hamilton-Jacobi equation wherever ; its characteristic curves are the harmonic motions with constant; and the explicit chart is canonical with , , and , in the period-one convention, with the radian rescaling recovering the sources' chart. The example asserts no measured value, no claim that a real oscillator realizes the model, and no global extension of across the conjugate times .
Example

For the CM12-CM14 presentation interfaces, declare the ambient one-label model on with mass operator , time window , potential , and smooth force (Adopted force model: force maps, the equation of motion, additive composition of force contributions and frame covariance, Potential presentations of a force model, potential and mechanical energy, closed versus exact force fields, local potentials and equipotential level sets, The action functional of a force model with a potential presentation: the mechanical Lagrangian, its chart instance and its dimensions).

Remarks
-
Where the construction breaks. The family is defined only for , and the mixed derivative is unbounded as ; the complete integral is a local object between the conjugate times of the oscillator and is not continued across them. The companion example computes the focusing of the characteristic family at those times.
-
No empirical content. The oscillator data are declared model parameters, and the displayed identities are statements about the model; no measured frequency, amplitude or period is asserted.
