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
Assume the Axiom of Countable Choice (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()), used only through the bound of Finiteness of the moments of a bounded finite Borel measure on that makes the two integrands of clause 1 -integrable. Let be an interval with at least two points, let be a centred mass distribution on with total mass and inertia matrix (Mass distributions on : total mass, first moment and inertia matrix), let and be differentiable, and let be the rigid placement with body angular velocity (Rigid placements, body and spatial angular velocity, and material velocities). For define the second integral read componentwise (Mass distributions on : total mass, first moment and inertia matrix). Then for every :

By [L1], , and by [L2]; hence for every the derivative of at is .
For every one has the vector identity : for instance the first coordinate of the left side is , which equals the first coordinate of the right side, and the second and third coordinates are the cyclic analogues.
The first integrand satisfies by step 1.1, [L3] and the two elementary bounds and ; the second integrand satisfies by step 1.1 and [L3]. Both are bounded on the support ball of by constants depending on , so they are -integrable by [L4]; this is the integrability clause of the statement.
Expanding the square with bilinearity and symmetry of the inner product and using [L3], .
By step 1.1 the relative velocity is , so the angular-momentum integrand is by [L2].
Integrating step 2.2 with [L5] and pulling the constant and the linear map through the integral, The middle term vanishes because by [L4], and the last term equals by [L6]; substituting into the definition of gives clause 2.
Integrating step 2.3 and substituting step 1.2, , the constant matrix and the finite sum of integrals being interchanged by [L5] componentwise, and the last equality being the definition of in Mass distributions on : total mass, first moment and inertia matrix. This is clause 3.
