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 Gaussian position and momentum packet of the massive model
An exact model computation for the spin-0 massive particle model of the framework: a normalized three-dimensional Gaussian wave function, its unitary momentum representative with the transposed width sigma_p=hbar/sigma, the resulting position and momentum outcome densities, their variances and the product hbar/2 in this single family of preparations. The item uses the model's own sharp outcome laws; it computes no dynamics, models no measurement, asserts no uncertainty theorem for arbitrary preparations and records no empirical result.
Example
Adopt the observable and probability postulate P2 and the massive-particle model postulate P5 read through The massive spin-s particle model of the framework: state space, operators, units and frame readings for a spinless particle (, ) of mass parameter , and assume the Axiom of Choice and the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Choice, The Axiom of Countable Choice (), Assigned sharp observables and the outcome law of the framework). Fix a width and define Then:
(i) with , so its ray is a pure preparation of the model and for all , with ;
(ii) with the momentum transform of The momentum representation of the componentwise kinematics, where , that is
(iii) the position law of in the preparation has density in the coordinate , hence mean and variance ; the momentum law of has density in the coordinate , mean and variance ; the product of the two standard deviations is ;
(iv) the joint position law of the three position observables has density , and the momentum representative has density against .
The example is an exact model computation in one family of preparations; no dynamics, detection model or empirical value is involved, and the variance statements are properties of this family only.

Verification
Given: The data of the example and [F1]-[F5].

[Schwartz class, norm and domain] By step 1.1 and [F1] the function is a constant multiple of the kernel slice , hence , and every derivative obeys [F1]. For every multi-index , the seminorm is finite: the function is continuous on and tends to at infinity, because as , which follows from the substitution in [F3]. Hence [F4]. Its norm is by step 1.1 and the normalisation of [F1]. The components lie in because by [F1]; and , which lies in by the same computation, is the weak derivative by [F4]. This proves (i).
[Position density and variance] By [F5] and step 1.1, ; writing and iterating by [F3] gives the density , the marginal of . Its mean vanishes and its second moment is by [F1]; hence the variance is .

[Joint densities and scope] The joint position density is and the momentum density is by steps 1.1 and 4.1, which is (iv). All computations used only the heat-kernel and Fourier suppliers and the sharp outcome laws of [F5]; no dynamics, detector, sampling or empirical input entered.
Remarks
- One family only. The variances computed here are those of the Gaussian family; no inequality for general preparations is asserted by this example, and the numerical product is a property of this family, not a universal law.
- Internal factor. For the vector (one component equal to , all others zero) has the same position and momentum laws by the internal-factor invariance of Position and momentum outcome laws of the massive spin-s model clause (d).
