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 are constructed examples inside the adopted constant-coefficient Fourier model, not measured temperature records. The first computes a compatible nonuniform profile's mean and variance exactly, then applies the conditional relaxation theorem. The second shows that the model's positive Gaussian kernel produces an immediate nonzero perturbation throughout the rectangle from compactly supported initial data. That is a mathematical property of the diffusion equation, not an experimental assertion about signal speeds.

A nonuniform insulated temperature profile relaxes to its mean
An exact initial-profile example inside the constant-capacity, constant-conductivity insulated rectangular model; it is a conditional calculation, not an observation.
Statement
Assume Countable Choice as in Constant-conductivity heat evolution on an insulated rectangle. Let be lengths in metres and . Let be a constant volumetric heat capacity in , a constant scalar conductivity in , and an arbitrary reference energy density in , with as in Constant-conductivity heat evolution on an insulated rectangle. Let and be temperatures in kelvins with . For set and prescribe Use its even -periodic extension in each coordinate as the initial datum on . The unique insulated heat solution has constant spatial mean and satisfies This gives an exactly computed initial variance and the conditional relaxation estimate of the model.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice; lengths in metres; with the units and hypotheses in the Statement; the profile ; and the field .
Countable Choice is the explicit hypothesis used by the heat-evolution supplier The Axiom of Countable Choice ().
Constant-conductivity heat evolution on an insulated rectangle: the even-periodic compatible initial field has the unique Gaussian-convolution heat solution with positive bounds and homogeneous Neumann faces.
Exponential relaxation of the constant-conductivity Neumann heat model: for this solution, the mean is conserved and .
Example
The function is dimensionless, and has units of kelvins. The extension uses even reflection at each face and period ; the initial field is nonconstant but compatible with insulated walls.
Verification
Write . Then , so , and . Also on . The constant and first two derivatives therefore match across the even-reflection and periodic seams; the extension is , with bounded uniformly continuous derivatives. Since , its values lie in , so .
Expand , so . Also , whence Therefore and Integrating over the other two coordinates now gives and .
The profile satisfies every initial-data hypothesis of [F1]; its vanishing normal derivative follows from . Apply [F1] for existence and [F2] with the computed to obtain the stated conserved mean and decay bound. This is a deduction within the adopted continuum model.
The rectangular Fourier model has instantaneous spatial support
A mathematical support property of the constant-coefficient Fourier heat model on an insulated rectangle; it is not an observation or a claim about finite-speed physical signals.
Statement
Assume Countable Choice as in Constant-conductivity heat evolution on an insulated rectangle. Let be lengths in metres and . Let be a constant volumetric heat capacity in , a constant scalar conductivity in , and an arbitrary reference energy density in , with as in Constant-conductivity heat evolution on an insulated rectangle. Choose and a radius in metres with , and let be temperatures in kelvins. Define on For , define the even periodic fold by for and for , . Put and take . In the constant- insulated Fourier model, the heat-kernel solution satisfies for every interior and every , although the initial perturbation is supported in the compact ball . Thus the adopted diffusion model has no finite propagation speed for this temperature perturbation.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Countable Choice; lengths and radius in metres; the constants with the units and hypotheses in the Statement; and the centre and profile defined there.
Countable Choice is the explicit hypothesis carried by the heat-evolution supplier The Axiom of Countable Choice ().
Constant-conductivity heat evolution on an insulated rectangle: under Countable Choice and the stated constant positive , a initial field that is even in each coordinate and -periodic in coordinate , with every coordinate derivative through order two bounded and uniformly continuous and bounds , has the stated insulated Gaussian-convolution solution. The Gaussian is strictly positive and has unit mass.
Example
The cutoff is dimensionless, so and are in kelvins. The perturbation is a constructed model profile, not measured data. It is zero outside a ball at and is nonzero throughout the body for every positive time under the adopted Fourier equation.
Verification
Inside the ball write , so . On the sphere , the first derivatives and second derivatives tend to zero; outside the ball they are zero. Hence is and nonnegative, and it is identically zero in a neighborhood of every face because . The reflected periodic extension is therefore , bounded with bounded uniformly continuous derivatives through order two (by continuity and periodicity), and positive on the original open ball.
The initial field satisfies and all the derivative and even-periodic hypotheses of [F1]. Unit mass of the Gaussian gives . For and any , the Gaussian is strictly positive on the ball. Choose a smaller closed ball on which the continuous has a positive minimum; the Gaussian also has a positive minimum there. Its integral over that ball is positive, so the convolution in [F1] gives .
At , restricted to vanishes outside , a proper compact subset of the rectangle, while step 2.1 shows the positive-time perturbation is nonzero at every interior point. This is instantaneous support growth in the specified diffusion model only.
