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.
Differentials of the thermodynamic potentials
Exact local differential identities on positive-temperature, C2, single-phase energy-representation charts with the stated Legendre coordinate maps invertible; no identity is asserted at singular response charts or phase boundaries.
Statement
On a valid local energy-representation chart from Local energy representation and thermodynamic conjugates, let and the potentials be as defined in Local thermodynamic Legendre potentials. On every open neighborhood where the corresponding natural-coordinate maps have their stated inverses, the potentials are C2 and their differentials are
All differentials are local state-function differentials. They do not assert that heat or work is an exact differential on process space.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A fixed constitution , an open C2 single-phase chart in coordinates , the local energy representation, and the valid natural-coordinate inverse charts named in the Statement. Use SI units: in joules; in ; in kelvins; in ; in pascals; in moles; and in .
Local energy representation and thermodynamic conjugates: Its Statement gives , , and on a local C2 chart. The carrier is registered in batch 8; its current proof uses the C1 graph interface of the batch-4 draft thm-tdmath-local-implicit-rank. That supplier's Step 1 readiness record is authoring status, not independent proof acceptance, so this use remains conditional on its mathematical review.
Local thermodynamic Legendre potentials: , , , and on the stated inverse charts.
Differential of a C2 partial Legendre transform on a local inverse chart: For a C2 scalar function and an assumed C1 local inverse of its conjugate-coordinate map, the partial Legendre transform has differential .
Proof
By [F1], the coordinate derivative of is . This step is conditional on the actual supplier interface and proof status recorded in [F1].
Apply [F3] to the transform with conjugate coordinate and to the transform with conjugate coordinate . With the signs fixed in [F2], this gives and .
Apply [F3] to the joint transform with conjugates . The definition [F2] has , so the transform differential is .
Apply [F3] to the joint transform with conjugates . The definition [F2] has , so the transform differential is .
Remarks
The argument is a complete conditional deduction from the current local-energy statement. Its chart and derivative interface match the use. The supplier's proof remains a draft conditional on the registered batch-4 implicit-rank theorem; neither supplier readiness record is independent proof acceptance. This proof-status gap is recorded in batch 9 readiness evidence.
