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.
Admissible TD pole-dipole local closure
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and use a smooth time-oriented Lorentzian four-manifold of signature with its metric-compatible Levi–Civita connection. Use SI units: coordinates are metres, proper time is seconds, is in metres per second, is in kilogram metres per second, is in kilogram metres squared per second, and has inverse-square-metre components. Let be a future timelike worldline parametrized by proper time, with and . For tensor fields along this curve, use the chart-independent derivative defined in Differentiated SSC momentum–velocity identity: differentiate the components, add on each upper index, and add on each lower index. It obeys the product and contraction rules and , as proved there. Let be a future timelike vector field along , let be a bivector field, and suppose the displayed evolution equations hold:
Put , , , and define the linear map
At every state where is invertible and is future timelike, the TD condition and (1) imply
Conversely, on the open state region where and are future timelike and is invertible, the normalized formula for in (2), together with (1), defines a smooth local ODE. A solution initialized with preserves . While it remains in that admissible region, and are constant. If , then , , and . These are local statements; no continuation past loss of invertibility of or timelikeness of is asserted. Equations (1) are hypotheses of this mathematical lemma, not a physical derivation of a stress-energy moment model.

Proof
Under [A2]'s TD condition , take . Then is a future unit observer, , , and . Also ; contracting with removes the second term because . Substitution in [F4] and multiplication by give . The definition of in (1) now gives exactly . Positivity of follows from [F3].
Since is invertible, step 1.1 gives . The coefficient is positive, so is future timelike. Its normalization is , hence and the second formula in (2) follows. Conversely, on , contraction of with gives because . Multiplying by yields , so the normalized formula has and satisfies the first formula in (2).
On the open region stated in the theorem, the inverse and the positive square root depend smoothly on the state coordinates. The smooth Lorentzian background, curvature and metric-selected connection [F2, F6] make the coordinate form of , (1) a smooth, hence locally Lipschitz, vector field. [F5] gives unique local solutions. For constraint preservation, set , so throughout this open region. The product rule [F1] gives Moreover, , so . Therefore This is a homogeneous linear ODE for along the solution. Its unique solution with is , proving preservation.
On the preserved constraint, step 1.1 gives . The curvature antisymmetry [F2] yields . Contract the displayed relation with : the left side is zero and by antisymmetry of , so . Since step 1.1 gives and , , hence and is constant. Also by from step 3.1.
If , then , , and with . The normalized formula (2) gives , equivalently . Equation (1) gives ; since is constant by step 4.1, .
Remarks
The matrix need not be invertible on every TD state, and need not remain timelike. The theorem supplies a local closure only on the explicitly stated admissible region; it proves neither global existence nor physical adequacy of a multipole truncation.
