Let be the limiting slice at equipped with the incoming one-sided formulas and labels, and let be the same limiting slice equipped with the outgoing one-sided formulas and labels. The additional outgoing cells are inactive germ slots at .

The geometric particle realization transport is

with both points equal to on the fixed worldline.

The matter-name transport is a function on cell labels. Retain the labels

and the six exterior labels. Define

for every incoming label . The geometric realizations of some persistent labels change: for example, is before the event and afterward. Cell-label transport is abstract location transport, not a trajectory for a material point.

Thus particle realization transport and matter-name transport are different typed maps, even though both preserve the particle-cell label .
