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.

Kepler's third law for the gravitational two-label model: the relative period is T=2πμab/J=2πμ/κ a3/2, so T2=4π2a3/(GNM) under the mass identification, and both labels are periodic relative to the centre of mass

Physical scope

The period of the negative-energy gravitational relative orbit in the adopted two-label model: the relative motion is periodic, its period is 2πμab/J=2πμ/κ a3/2, the form T2=4π2a3/(GNM) holds when the gravitational couplings are identified with the inertial masses, each label is periodic about the centre of mass while its absolute motion advances by VT per period, and the area swept per period is πab. The result is a conditional deduction from the adopted model and its declared empirical identification; it reports no observation and no measured value.

Statement

Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)). Adopt the two-label gravitational model of Adopted two-label gravitational model: the inverse-square pair potential with coupling parameters, the empirical mass identification, and the measured value and uncertainty of the Newtonian constant clause (i): inertial masses m1,m2>0, M=m1+m2, reduced mass μ=m1m2/M, gravitational couplings m1g,m2g>0, κ=GNm1gm2g, and the potential u(ρ)=−κ/ρ on (0,∞). Let x:I→Q be a motion on a time interval I with relative coordinate r, angular momentum j=Je3, J>0, and energy E<0, and let e∈[0,1), θ0∈R, p=J2μκ,a=p1−e2=−κ2E,b=a1−e2 be its conic data (The inverse-square gravitational relative trajectory has the Kepler polar form: ρ=p/(1+ecos⁡(θ−θ0)), E=(μκ2/2J2)(e2−1), elliptic completeness and barycentric scaled ellipses clauses 1 and 3). Then:

  1. (Period of the relative motion.) The relative motion extends uniquely to a central-force trajectory on all of R (as in The inverse-square gravitational relative trajectory has the Kepler polar form: ρ=p/(1+ecos⁡(θ−θ0)), E=(μκ2/2J2)(e2−1), elliptic completeness and barycentric scaled ellipses clause 3); along that extension (with θ its polar angular coordinate, as supplied by the cited orbit theory), if t0∈R and T>0 is determined by θ(t0+T)=θ(t0)+2π, then r(t+T)=r(t) and r′(t+T)=r′(t) for all t∈R, and T=2πμabJ=2πμκ a3/2,T2=4π2μa3κ.
  2. (Gravitational parameters.) With μ=m1m2/M and κ=GNm1gm2g, T2=4π2a3m1m2M GN m1gm2g; if in addition the model adopts the identification mig=mi of Adopted two-label gravitational model: the inverse-square pair potential with coupling parameters, the empirical mass identification, and the measured value and uncertainty of the Newtonian constant clause (ii), this reduces to T2=4π2a3GNM.
  3. (Both labels.) On the global coordinate extension supplied by The inverse-square gravitational relative trajectory has the Kepler polar form: ρ=p/(1+ecos⁡(θ−θ0)), E=(μκ2/2J2)(e2−1), elliptic completeness and barycentric scaled ellipses clause 3(a) (write it again as x, with centre of mass X), for each i=1,2 the position relative to the centre of mass is periodic with period T, xi(t+T)−X(t+T)=xi(t)−X(t), while the absolute motions satisfy xi(t+T)−xi(t)=V T(t∈R), with the constant centre-of-mass velocity V=X′ of Two-body reduction of a static central pair-potential model: the relative coordinate is a central-force trajectory for the reduced mass, the centre of mass moves uniformly, and the reconstruction is a bijection clause 2; the absolute motions are periodic exactly when V=0. The restriction of this extension to the model time window I0 is a model motion; statements about xi(t+T) within that model require t,t+T∈I0.
  4. (Area per period.) The area swept by the relative radius vector in one period is πab, and it equals JT/(2μ); equivalently T=2πμab/J as in clause 1.

[A1]

The Axiom of Countable Choice is assumed (The Axiom of Countable Choice (ACω)).

[L2]

Orbit theory (The inverse-square gravitational relative trajectory has the Kepler polar form: ρ=p/(1+ecos⁡(θ−θ0)), E=(μκ2/2J2)(e2−1), elliptic completeness and barycentric scaled ellipses clauses 1 and 3, Completeness and periodicity of the negative-energy Kepler orbit, with T=2πμab/J and T2=4π2μa3/κ, The subcritical Kepler conic is an ellipse with semiaxes a=p/(1−e2), b=a1−e2, focus at the origin and area πab; its area is also 12∫02πϱ2): for the negative-energy inverse-square trajectory of [L1], the conic data e∈[0,1), p, a=p/(1−e2)=−κ/(2E), b=a1−e2 apply; the relative trajectory and the reconstructed coordinate curves extend uniquely to all of R, with the coordinate curves restricted to I0 defining the extended model motion, by clause 3(a) of the cited physical theorem, and the relative trajectory is periodic with T determined by θ(t0+T)=θ(t0)+2π and satisfying T=2πμab/J=2πμ/κ a3/2, T2=4π2μa3/κ; and the ellipse of the conic has area πab=12∫02πϱ(φ)2 dφ, where ϱ(φ)=p/(1+ecos⁡(φ−θ0)).

[L3]

Area law (Planarity of the reduced orbit and the area law: the areal-velocity vector is the constant j/(2μ), the swept-area rate is J/(2μ), and both labels sweep equal areas in equal times about the centre of mass clauses 2-3): the swept-area function of the reduced orbit has constant derivative J/(2μ), so the area swept over an interval of length T is JT/(2μ).

[L4]

Parameters (Adopted two-label gravitational model: the inverse-square pair potential with coupling parameters, the empirical mass identification, and the measured value and uncertainty of the Newtonian constant clauses (i)-(ii)): κ=GNm1gm2g and μ=m1m2/M; the identification mig=mi is an adopted empirical assumption of the model's quantitative applications; M=m1+m2>0 and GN>0.

Clause 1: by [L1] the relative trajectory meets the hypotheses of [L2] with E<0, and [L2] supplies the unique extension to R, the periodicity with T determined by one full revolution of θ, and the two displayed period formulas; substituting a=p/(1−e2) and p=J2/(μκ) into T=2πμab/J and T=2πμ/κ a3/2 is exactly [L2].

Clause 2: substituting μ=m1m2/M and κ=GNm1gm2g from [L4] into T2=4π2μa3/κ gives T2=4π2a3m1m2/(MGNm1gm2g); if additionally mig=mi, the numerator and denominator simplify by m1m2 to T2=4π2a3/(GNM).

Clause 3: use the global coordinate extension of [L2], which restricts to a model motion on I0. By [L1], xi−X=±mjMr, and r, hence xi−X, is T-periodic by step 1.1; also X(t+T)−X(t)=VT because X is affine with constant derivative V, so xi(t+T)−xi(t)=VT+(xi(t+T)−X(t+T))−(xi(t)−X(t))=VT. If V=0, this proves that both absolute motions are T-periodic. Conversely, suppose either absolute motion xi has any positive period S. For every positive integer n, periodicity and the affine motion of X give 0=xi(t+nS)−xi(t)=nVS±mjM(r(t+nS)−r(t)) for all t∈R. By the conic bound in [L2], ∥r(t)∥2≤p/(1−e) for all t, so nS∥V∥2≤2(mj/M)p/(1−e) for every n. Since the right side is fixed and S>0, this forces V=0. Thus either label has an absolute period only if V=0, and when V=0 both are periodic.

Clause 4: by [L2] the relative motion extends to R; applying the relative areal-rate identity of [L3] to the global central-force trajectory, its swept-area function has derivative J/(2μ), so the area swept over one period is JT/(2μ). Since θ:[t0,t0+T]→[θ(t0),θ(t0)+2π] is a strictly increasing C1 bijection with θ′=ρ−2μ−1J on the extension, the substitution rule gives A(t0+T)−A(t0)=12∫t0t0+Tρ2θ′=12∫θ(t0)θ(t0)+2πϱ(φ)2 dφ=12∫02πϱ(φ)2 dφ=πab by the 2π-periodicity of ϱ and [L2]; combining with A(t0+T)−A(t0)=JT/(2μ) gives T=2πμab/J.
