An intermediate lemma of the split of OpenAI's proof of OAI.SKValue.value_consequences, carved from OpenAI's openai/math development for this platform. The statement and its proof are OpenAI's (OpenAI, QAOA attains the SK ground-state energy in the thermodynamic-first limit, OpenAI Math Release, September 25, 2026, result family 281, github.com/openai/math, Apache License 2.0); in Lean it is the declaration OAI.SKValue.phi_evolution of lean/OAI/Probability/SKValue/SKValue/Control/PhiRegularity.lean at commit adc7f12, ported to Lean 4.33.1 and Mathlib 0df444a.

The statement, as published (namespace OAI.SKValue, with open MeasureTheory ProbabilityTheory Set Filter, open scoped Topology NNReal ENNReal BigOperators ContDiff):

lemma phi_evolution (W : BrownianSpace) (γ : OrderParameter) {S : ℝ}
    (hS : S∈Ico (0 : ℝ) 1) : SmoothEvolution S γ.coeff (phi W γ)

Definitions. The statement is written with OAI.SKValue.SmoothEvolution (definitions bundle OAIQ4Sk000 of this split); OAI.SKValue.BrownianSpace, OAI.SKValue.OrderParameter and OAI.SKValue.phi (the published bundle Def_SKValue).

Used by. The proofs of OAI.SKValue.IsDiffusion.curvatureExpr_hasDerivAt, OAI.SKValue.IsDiffusion.curvatureSlope_hasDerivAt, OAI.SKValue.IsDiffusion.momentExpr_hasDerivAt, OAI.SKValue.IsMinimizer.gradient_moment_contact, OAI.SKValue.sourceStripRegularity and OAI.SKValue.value_consequences of this split import it.
