Primes¶
- Principle of Least Action
- … is that the dynamical laws of physics can be reformulated from local equations of motion (Newton's second law, Maxwell's equations) into a global variational statement: of all conceivable paths, the one the system actually takes is the one whose action is stationary (usually a minimum, sometimes a saddle point)
This sourceFoundation for subsequent development but terminology ("least") misleading about mathematical content.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
