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.
Normal slice charge equals its coordinate density integral
Statement
Assume the convention and the spacelike slab data of Finite spacelike slab and normal flux charge. For every slice and every current in that definition, its normal flux charge is where is the metric density in the supplied chart.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The coordinate box , positive-definite spatial block , , scalar , future unit normal , and charge .
The smooth Lorentzian geometry uses the convention recorded in The Axiom of Countable Choice () and Finite spacelike slab and normal flux charge.
The supplied definition gives positive definite, , and the normal-flux definition of (Finite spacelike slab and normal flux charge).
Proof
In the coordinate basis write the metric matrix as where . Since is positive definite it is invertible. Subtract times the lower block rows from the first row; this determinant-preserving operation gives To identify the inverse entry, solve : the lower equations give , and the first equation then gives . Therefore , so by [F1].
From and the definition of , . As , step 1.1 yields
Lowering the index of gives by [F1], hence . Substitute step 2.1 into the defining integrand of to obtain Integrating over proves the statement.
Remarks
The calculation is restricted to the supplied spacelike coordinate slices. It makes no assertion that the coordinate component alone is invariant or that charges from different slicings agree.
