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.
Positive relaxation parameters can give superluminal characteristic speed
Example
Choose and , put , and on an open neighborhood of define the local energy per marker
Choose small enough that and the local enthalpy density , with , , and , remains positive. At the reference state, , , , and . The local Gibbs response in Bulk linear relaxation energy, stability and causal speed therefore realizes . Now set . All positivity hypotheses of that bulk linear branch hold, but its exact normal characteristic speed is . With SI units, is in Pa and in s, so is in Pa s. This is a parameterized mathematical model example, not a measurement or an estimate for a material.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The constructed local state and positive parameters in the Example, with in Pa, in s, in , and the reference speed parameter.
The only choice premise in the supplier chain is countable choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
At , , , , and ; by continuity, can be chosen open with and throughout.
Bulk linear relaxation energy, stability and causal speed: under and the exact local Gibbs response, the branch speed is .
Corrected bulk relaxation and exact extended entropy: every actual smooth solution of the corrected law and balances with satisfies . This conditional entropy identity supplies no algebraic bound on the linear characteristic speed.
Verification
Direct differentiation of gives and . Thus [A2] verifies the local state's positive hypotheses, and [F1] supplies . The choice gives , so all remaining strict positivity hypotheses of [F1] hold.
Substitution gives . Since and , . The separate entropy identity in [F2] is nonnegative whenever its actual-solution hypotheses hold, including ; that conditional sign statement supplies no bound on this characteristic speed.
