This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Quantum angular momentum is represented by Lie-algebra generators.
A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.
