# Chapter — Diffeomorphisms and gravity: the orthogonal spacetime split `x = χx + Πx`
Source: `book.tex`, chapter *"Diffeomorphisms and gravity"*, §*"Classical
Hamiltonian"* (line ~8091). Continuing the standing directive (mine the next
self-contained mathematical claim from `book.tex`) and building directly on the
spatial projector `χ` (`ChapterGravityProjector`, Wave 69) and the complementary
temporal projector `Π` (`ChapterGravityTimeProj`, Wave 71), this file records the
**orthogonal `3 + 1` decomposition** that these projectors implement: relative to
the globally defined **unit timelike vector** `v` (`minkSq v = −1` in the
mostly-plus Minkowski metric `η = diag(−1,1,1,1)`), every contravariant vector
`x` splits uniquely as
`x = (χ x) + (Π x)`,
into its **spatial part** `χ x ∈ v^⊥` and its **temporal part** `Π x`, which is a
scalar multiple of `v`. The two parts are Minkowski-orthogonal. This is the
linear-algebra content underlying the book's use of `χ` to split every torsion
tensor into spatial and temporal pieces.
Formalized here (all under the physical unit-timelike hypothesis
`minkSq v = -1`, where noted):
* `minkForm x y` — the Minkowski bilinear form `⟨x,y⟩_η = ∑ₐ xᵃ y_a`;
* `minkForm_comm` — the Minkowski form is symmetric;
* `spatialPart v x`, `timePart v x` — the spatial (`χx`) and temporal (`Πx`) parts;
* `spatialPart_add_timePart` — **completeness** `χx + Πx = x`;
* `timePart_eq_smul` — the temporal part is `Πx = −⟨x,v⟩_η · v`, a multiple of `v`;
* `spatialPart_orthogonal` — the spatial part is Minkowski-orthogonal to `v`
(`⟨χx, v⟩_η = 0`), i.e. it lies in the spatial hyperplane `v^⊥`;
* `parts_orthogonal` — **headline**: the spatial and temporal parts are
Minkowski-orthogonal (`⟨χx, Πx⟩_η = 0`);
* `split_unique` — the `3 + 1` split is unique: if `x = s + c • v` with `s ⊥ v`
then `s = χx` and `c • v = Πx`.
Everything is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`, `Classical.choice`,
`Quot.sound`); no `EXTERNAL` hypothesis, no `axiom`.

The temporal part is a scalar multiple of `v`: `Πx = −⟨x,v⟩_η · v`.

**Uniqueness of the `3 + 1` split.** If `x = s + c • v` with `s` Minkowski-orthogonal
to `v` (`⟨s, v⟩_η = 0`), then `s` is the spatial part and `c • v` is the temporal
part.
