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.

Past access to the far tail by exact time reversal

Statement

Under all the hypotheses of the maximal stationary far-tail-access lemma, every point of E belongs also to IE+(Uf) for every sufficiently far stationary tail Uf=R×{r>Rf}. Here the metric, domain, slice and end are unchanged. Thus the original-metric chronological access is two-sided. This is not a statement about the Harrison metric with a fixed parameter or about its transferred future paths.

Facts & Assumptions

[F1]

The authored future-access lemma applies to any smooth maximal stationary Lorentz product with the exact geometric, positivity, tangency and asymptotic hypotheses stated there. A maximal stationary exterior has future access to its far tail

[F2]

Chronological past/future and time orientation are those of the causal-curve interface, and the hypersurface conventions define k=−g(∇n,⋅). Causal curves, chronological and causal reachability, and inextendibility Spacelike sections, maximality and lapse–shift data

Proof

**Given:**The explicit hypotheses of the Statement.

Goal: Establish its exact chronological-access conclusion.

1.1F1F2

Reverse the spacetime time orientation and replace T by T′=−T and its stationary coordinate t by t′=−t. The future unit normal is n′=−n. Hence T′=Nn′+X′ with X′=−X and unchanged positive N. The induced metric is unchanged; k′=−k is still trace-free. Boundary tangency and smooth extension are unchanged, as are the complete stationary flow and product topology. The end components satisfy g00′=g00, g0i′=−g0i, gij′=gij, so all end bounds and future timelikeness of T′ in the reversed orientation hold. The set Uf is the same subset because its time factor is all of R. Thus every hypothesis of [F1] is preserved, not merely the maximal-slice condition.

2.1F1F2step 1.1∎

Apply [F1] in this reversed setting. It gives E⊂IE,rev−(Uf). Reversing a future timelike curve in the reversed orientation gives a future timelike curve in the original orientation from Uf to its original starting point. Therefore this is precisely E⊂IE+(Uf). Combining it with the original [F1] gives both chronological accesses. No assertion about a deformed metric is used.
