Back to manuscript

Even an allowed finite relabelling requires more to define a smooth, time-oriented coordinate transformation. If an actual coordinate change , with , is supplied, tensor transformation gives in the zero-shift case

No such transformation law follows from applying alone. A simultaneous passive transformation of states and observable matrices is instead a change of representation.
