Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.

form the cotangent phase space
Authored explanation
For a smooth configuration manifold Q, the standard phase space is the new manifold T∗Q with its canonical symplectic form; it is not the same carrier with extra data.
How to interpret this relation type
Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.

symplectic phase space
Authored explanation
Hamiltonian phase spaces are symplectic manifolds or appropriate generalizations.
How to interpret this relation type
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.

classical microstate space
Authored explanation
Classical statistical mechanics represents each microscopic state as a phase-space point and ensembles as measures or densities over phase space, subject to the selected Hamiltonian and constraints.
How to interpret this relation type
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.

Poisson algebra of observables
Authored explanation
A symplectic or Poisson phase space supplies a Poisson bracket on observables.
How to interpret this relation type
