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.

Statement
Let , , , and the fixed-composition state be as in Rest fluid state, frame and geometric current definitions and Local Gibbs, Euler, parcel first law and response identities, with , , and . Define , , , and , , , and the spatial symmetric trace-free shear
where parentheses denote the averaged symmetric part. Suppose smooth fields , , , and obey , , and is symmetric with . Set
If and , the vector field
satisfies the exact identity
This identity applies to the stated smooth fields and conventions; it does not select a constitutive law or assert that any such fields solve an evolution problem.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A nonempty open set and the smooth Lorentzian data of Rest fluid state, frame and geometric current definitions, a state map into a nonempty open state domain, the thermodynamic identities of Local Gibbs, Euler, parcel first law and response identities, and the stress and particle balances displayed in the Statement.
The spacetime and tensor construction assumes Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()); no stronger choice principle is used.
Rest fluid state, frame and geometric current definitions (current batch-53 draft): on a nonempty open set , the observer field is smooth and future unit timelike; a local state has a nonempty open domain , a specified , and a state map . It defines , , , , , , , and .
Local Gibbs, Euler, parcel first law and response identities (current batch-53 draft): under the stated nonempty open-domain and hypotheses, it gives and . Applying the first identity to the state map along gives the directional identity used below. This use is conditional on the current draft carrier.
Existence and uniqueness of the metric-selected connection of a nondegenerate metric, and its extension to tensor fields: the induced tensor derivative satisfies the product rule, , and contraction commutes with differentiation.
In the SI convention of [F1], and are dimensionless, have inverse-length components, have units Pa, have units , has units , has units K, and has units J per marker. The force density has units , the physical heat flux is , and has units .
Define , , , and . The stress decomposition, spatial symmetries, and balance equations are exactly those in the Statement.
Proof
From metric compatibility, and . The perfect energy term contracts as ; the isotropic pressure term contributes . Orthogonality and the product rule give and . Finally : the spatial symmetric trace-free tensor annihilates the antisymmetric part of and its isotropic spatial trace. Thus the stress balance is
The particle balance gives . By [F2], Substitution in step 1.1 yields
By the definition , its divergence is : the last derivative is subtracted. The product rule gives Substituting these expressions and step 2.1 gives The and terms cancel with the displayed opposite-sign terms. The remaining heat terms combine as , proving the stated identity. Since are spatial, only the rest-space projections of the corresponding gradients contribute.
