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.
Nonflat anisotropic Kasner exponents
Example
On any nonempty open interval , the exponents with , lengths in metres and a time in seconds, give a nonstatic Ricci-flat diagonal Bianchi I metric. Its directional expansion rates are unequal, the scalar equals , and its curvature component is nonzero. Thus the Riemann tensor is nonzero and the metric is not flat.

Facts & Assumptions
Given: The stated power-law Bianchi I metric with , , and , in the inherited context.
The Bianchi I product and quotient construction carries and no stronger choice principle (Diagonal Bianchi I model).
The rates, mean expansion, volume and shear scalar are , , and (Diagonal Bianchi I model).
The C2 connection and curvature use the coordinate order and the definitions of and stated on this page (C2 curvature for the diagonal Bianchi I quotient metric).
and have the explicit component formulas in the curvature lemma (Curvature components of the diagonal Bianchi I metric).
For a nonstatic power-law Bianchi I metric, exactly when (Kasner vacuum constraints).
With isotropic diagonal source, is constant and , where has units ; the zero source is isotropic (Diagonal-source shear equation and isotropic-source decay).
Verification
Work under the inherited context [A1]. For , and ; none of the exponents is zero, so [F4] gives the Ricci-flat conclusion.
The rates are and , so , and . By Ricci-flatness from step 1.1 and the definition in [F2], and for every . Thus the spatial equations in [F5] hold with and isotropic source , giving .
From [F3], throughout . Thus the metric has nonzero curvature and is not flat, while step 1.1 established Ricci-flatness.
