Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A symplectic or Poisson phase space supplies a Poisson bracket on observables.

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.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

Hamiltonian time evolution is generated by the Poisson bracket with the Hamiltonian.

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.
