💡 Don't worry about completing every field!

This form may look comprehensive, but you only need to fill the essential fields that are relevant to your contribution. Many sections are optional and can help improve your entry's quality, but they're not required for submission. Start with the basics and add more details as you feel comfortable.

📝 Basic Information

Guidelines: Unique identifier that must exactly match the filename (without .json extension). Use lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores only. Choose descriptive names that clearly identify the physics concept.
Unique identifier that must exactly match the filename (without .json extension). Pattern: lowercase letters, numbers, and underscores only.
Brief title to identify the entry (max 100 characters).

🧮 Main Equations

Guidelines: List of equations in AsciiMath format. Provide each equation with a unique ID (e.g., 'eq1', 'eq2'). Use AsciiMath format for all equations.

💡 Explanation

Guidelines: Provide a brief (2–5 sentences, max 100 words) conceptual summary of the theoretical result or equation. Assume the reader has a graduate-level understanding of physics. Use clear and concise language to explain the significance, usage, and context of the theoretical result. Content should include: Definition or main concept, Why it matters in physics, How it's used or where it appears. Avoid derivation steps (covered in the derivation section), dense notation or inline math, empty generalities (e.g., "This is important in physics"), or overly technical jargon. If, exceptionally, there are math symbols or equations included, they must be enclosed in backticks (``) and written in AsciiMath format.
2-5 sentence conceptual summary (≤100 words, max 800 characters)

📋 Equations Assumptions

Guidelines: Focus on assumptions specific to the equations themselves. Use backticks for math symbols in AsciiMath format

📖 Symbol Definitions

Guidelines: Each definition should include a symbol field, with the symbol represented in AsciiMath format and a definition field.. If there are math symbols or equations included in the definition, they must be enclosed in backticks (``) and written in AsciiMath format.

🔬 Derivation

Guidelines: Provide a formal derivation of the result, including all steps, equations in AsciiMath format, and explanations. Derivation should start from either first principles (listed in the field 'assumptions') or from other results derived in another entry, which should be specified in the 'dependencies' field. Each step should contain the `step` (an integer, in sequential order), `equation` (AsciiMath format), and `explanation` (textual rationale) fields. Include all steps for complete derivation. Use very explicit detail level for easy following.

📝 Derivation Assumptions

Guidelines: List all assumptions required for the derivation. Use sequential IDs like 'assumption1', 'assumption2'. If there are math symbols or equations included, they must be enclosed in backticks (``) and written in AsciiMath format.

💻 Programmatic Verification

Guidelines: Use minimal dependencies (pure Python or sympy). Should follow the steps of the derivation, explicitly in the comments. Include assert statements to verify correctness
e.g. 'python 3.11.12'
e.g. 'sympy 1.13.0'
Enter each line of code separated by newlines. Include comments and assert statements.

🏷️ Metadata & Classification

Guidelines: Use official arXiv taxonomy identifiers
ArXiv category identifier
Current scientific status of the theory

⚖️ Validity Regime

Guidelines: Use for theories with specific applicability ranges. Include both conditions where valid and limitations
Physical conditions where this theory applies
Limitations or boundaries of this theory

🔗 Dependencies

Guidelines: Use exact result_id values (without .json extension). Only include direct dependencies

🔄 Superseded By

Guidelines: Use exact result_id values (without .json extension). Must reference existing entries in the dataset

📜 Historical Context

Guidelines: Provide importance, development period, and key insights
Historical significance and impact of this theory
Time period when this theory was developed
Key scientific insights or breakthroughs

📚 References

Guidelines: Use APA format: Author(s). (Year). Title. Publisher/Journal, volume(issue), pages. DOI/URL

👤 Attribution

Guidelines: Each contributor must have a full name and an identifier (ORCID, website, LinkedIn, etc.)
If provided, you'll receive a confirmation email with next steps
Use "draft" for initial submissions
