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.

2 · Summary
These symbolic examples specialize the page's conditional results: a pair of stationary Rindler clocks and a radial ray; a particle released from rest in a uniform electric field; a planar circular orbit in a uniform magnetic field; and the exact constant drift solution in subcritical crossed fields. Parameters are chosen for calculation and do not represent reported measurements. The instantaneous Rindler frequency ratio uses the theorem's additional adopted local phase-reception rule and retains its local ray-regime and finite-apparatus qualifications.

Two stationary clocks and one radial Rindler ray
A symbolic specialization of the conditional right-wedge Rindler theorem. The numerical parameters are chosen model values, not measured quantities; the instantaneous received-frequency reading is conditional on the theorem's additional adopted local phase-reception model, with its local ray-regime and finite-apparatus qualifications and no numerical accuracy or empirical validation claim.
Example
Specialize Right-wedge Rindler clocks, radial rays and frequency ratio to , emission radius , reception radius , and a future outward radial ray. These are exact model parameters. The one-way coordinate travel time is , and over a shared Rindler-time interval the ideal-clock ratio is . The instantaneous received-frequency ratio is under the theorem's additional adopted local phase-reception rule, with its local ray-regime and short-observation qualifications for finite apparatus and no numerical error bound or empirical validation. No experiment is described.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The parameter values above and the right-wedge definitions and model readings of the theorem.
Right-wedge Rindler clocks, radial rays and frequency ratio: radial travel has , stationary ideal-clock increments scale as , and the wave-covector contraction functional scales as ; the instantaneous reception interpretation adopts the theorem's [A2] and retains all its qualifications.
Verification
Substitute , into the theorem's travel-time formula. Since both radii are positive and the ray is outward, , which is finite.
The clock-gradient formula gives . The contraction functional gives . By [F1], the latter is the instantaneous received-frequency ratio within the additional adopted local phase-reception model, with its local ray-regime and finite-apparatus limits; no measured accuracy is asserted.
Uniform electric field from rest
A symbolic specialization of the conditional constant-electric-field test-particle theorem with chosen SI model parameters. It is not a measurement or empirical claim.
Example
Choose , , , , and initial data , at in Exact relativistic orbit in a uniform electric field. Coordinate time is in seconds. Then , , and for every finite the model orbit is
with . This is a symbolic model calculation with chosen parameters, not a report of measured field or particle data.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The chosen , zero initial position and momentum, and the adopted model assumptions in the theorem.
Exact relativistic orbit in a uniform electric field: for , , , and the exact position and velocity are the formulas stated there.
Verification
Here , , , and . Inserting these values into [F1] gives , zero transverse coordinates, and the displayed .
Substitution in the velocity formula of [F1] gives and . At , and ; for finite , because the denominator is strictly larger than .
A circular magnetic orbit with zero axial momentum
A symbolic specialization of the conditional constant-magnetic-field test-particle theorem with chosen model parameters. It is not a measurement or empirical claim.
Example
In Exact relativistic helix in a uniform magnetic field, choose , with units kilogram metre per second, , and arbitrary kilograms. Then has momentum units, is dimensionless and has units inverse seconds. The orbit is the circle
of radius , with constant energy . At its momentum is . All values are model parameters, not observations.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The parameter restrictions above and the adopted magnetic test-particle model in the theorem.
Exact relativistic helix in a uniform magnetic field: the momentum and position formulas have signed angular frequency , constant energy , and transverse radius .
Verification
With and , substitution into [F1] gives , and . Substitution into the position formulas gives the displayed coordinates and .
The radius clause of [F1] gives , and the energy is . At , sine is and cosine is , so . The orbit is planar because makes constant.
The exact constant drift solution in subcritical crossed fields
A symbolic specialization of the subcritical crossed-field theorem. The chosen field parameters describe an exact model solution and are not measured values; general initial data still give inverse-boosted magnetic orbits.
Example
Let be in tesla and set in newtons per coulomb, so , is subcritical. In Subcritical crossed fields and exact drift-frame orbits, the drift velocity and boost factor are in metres per second and . The constant-velocity orbit in a chart with solves the adopted model for any and constant charge : its Lorentz force vanishes. This is one exact solution; other initial data yield boosted magnetic orbits.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The chosen fields, positive , , constant , and the subcritical external-field model of the theorem.
Subcritical crossed fields and exact drift-frame orbits: for , , , and ; general solutions are inverse boosts of magnetic orbits.
Verification
The ratio verifies the strict subcritical hypothesis. Substituting in [F1] gives and .
Directly, . Thus [F1] makes the Lorentz force zero, momentum stays constant, and the straight worldline is an exact orbit. The theorem's inverse-boost construction applies to general initial data, so this example does not assert that every orbit has this constant velocity.
