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.
A regular two-phase three-species reaction model
A constructed smooth local two-phase Gibbs model with one formal internal reaction, used to verify the local equation-map nonsingular-minor hypothesis only; no stable or realized coexistence claim, empirical system, or chemical data are made.
Example
Take species and phases. Write , and center the open composition charts at . Fix , , , and . The parameters have units , , , and . For , set , , , and , and define molar Gibbs potentials
Set on each fixed-tag branch and adopt the natural Gibbs assignments , , and , with . These smooth charts are scale-invariant in amount. Near the centered point the volumes are positive, and the chart Jacobian at fixed composition and amount is nonsingular: , , and there, so its determinant is . The reaction vector is , of rank . At , both phases have , so the phase-equality equations and reaction affinity vanish.
For each branch, fix a reference amount in moles. Choose an open neighborhood of in , using . Shrink this neighborhood to the inverse-function patch verified below; all component amounts remain positive. The constructed branch's local physical state map is , on the positive amount and interior composition domain just specified. On the inverse patch verified below, define its numerical domain and declare this patch to be the local model's patch, where is the unit map of Entropic temperature, pressure, and molar chemical potentials. Define the numerical entropy by , with supplied by the Gibbs assignments through this inverse. Thus the displayed derivatives are derivatives in physical SI coordinates on ; the model patch is not an empirical claim about an independently specified material domain.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The two Gibbs branches, their conjugate assignments and parameter units in the Example, the open positive-temperature and positive-pressure simplex charts, and the reaction vector . These define a constructed local model for checking the rank condition; no measured or realized material is claimed.
Adopted local model: The C2 function has conjugates , , and , with . These relations define the model's natural Gibbs chart.
Regular rank form of the finite-component phase dimension count: For , , , a full-rank combined equation map has local equation-zero-set dimension .
Entropic temperature, pressure, and molar chemical potentials: The derivative-defined quantities obey , , and in a valid physical state chart.
The model and calculation verify only the equation-map rank and dimension; no stable or realized coexistence endpoint is assumed.
The chain rule for total derivatives: : The derivative of a differentiable composition is the composition of its derivatives.
The Euclidean inverse function theorem: A C1 map between open Euclidean neighborhoods with invertible derivative at a point has a local C1 inverse.
Euclidean maps are closed under componentwise algebra and composition preserves under finite algebra and composition. Continuity and derivatives of positive-base real powers gives on , hence the reciprocal is there.
Verification
From the displayed and [A1], at the center , , , and , so the fixed-composition/amount Jacobian for is . The map has determinant . Hence the full state-map Jacobian is , and [L2] gives the specified open full-state inverse patch, which can be shrunk to retain positive temperature, volume and amounts. On this patch, [L1] and the conjugate assignments give and , so . The inverse coordinates and chemical potentials are ; by [L3], all these coefficients are . Thus the entropy representative is and has , , and , verifying the derivative-defined quantities of [F2].
For and , [L1] at fixed and the other two species amounts gives
Substitution of the two stated at the centered point gives . Thus and .
From the formulas in step 2.1, at the centered point
Using , , , and , the derivative minor of in columns is
The cofactor of the last-row pressure entry is zero because, after deleting that row and column, the fourth column is times the first. Expansion along the last row therefore gives determinant . The combined equation map therefore has the required rank four.
The ambient coordinate dimension is , and the number of equations is , where is a dimensionless equation count distinct from the volume-per-mole parameter . By [F1], the local equation zero set has dimension , agreeing with . This is only the full-rank equation-set calculation.
