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.
Spinless TD geodesic limit
The zero-spin invariant branch of the adopted neutral TD pole-dipole truncation on its local admissible region. It recovers a timelike geodesic with constant rest mass and makes no global-existence or empirical claim.
Example
Assume the neutral pole-dipole equations of Pole-dipole and closed multipole test-body models and the TD admissible region of TD spin and momentum norms: is future timelike, is invertible, is future timelike, and the initial spin tensor satisfies . Then throughout the local solution the spin remains zero, is parallel transported, and Thus the representative curve is a timelike geodesic with constant rest mass in this restricted branch.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The adopted neutral pole-dipole equations, the TD algebraic closure on its admissible region, and an initial zero spin tensor.
The initial TD state has and lies in the open region where is invertible and is future timelike.
The neutral pole-dipole evolution is adopted as a finite-dimensional test-body truncation. Pole-dipole and closed multipole test-body models
A solution satisfying TD throughout the local admissible domain has constant and spin-tensor norm. If its initial spin tensor is zero, it remains zero and gives , , and . TD spin and momentum norms
The variables are moments under the stated local body convention; this example adds the TD representative condition. Body moments and transport convention
On the open region where and are future timelike and is invertible, the normalized closure defines a smooth local ODE with the pole-dipole equations. A solution initialized with preserves that constraint. Admissible TD pole-dipole local closure
Verification
The zero initial tensor in [A2] gives initially. The adopted equations [A1] and normalized TD closure are exactly the local ODE of [F3], so that supplier preserves the TD constraint throughout the local solution in the admissible region. The hypotheses of [F1] now hold: the zero initial tensor remains zero and is constant. The force in [A1] vanishes, hence and . Covariant differentiation gives .
The normalization and imply and the positive rest-mass parameter is . The conclusion holds only while the solution stays in the local TD admissible region [A2]; it makes no claim of global extension.
Remarks
The result is the zero-spin specialization of the adopted neutral TD model. It does not derive that model from the body-moment definition and does not assert completeness of the geodesic or the full spinning-body system.
