For every smooth free scalar ,
The complete vector in (eq:double) vanishes identically on the slab if and only if the switched free source is conserved:
Proof. Trace reversal is involutive, so . Differentiation commutes with the retarded inverse on these compact interior sources. Taking the divergence and using proves (eq:Dresponse).
Retardation makes and zero below . Thus the layer term in (eq:coordinate) is zero, and wherever this response can be nonzero. Consequently , proving (eq:double).
Applying to (eq:double) recovers minus one half of the displayed source. Zero output therefore implies zero source. Conversely, zero source gives zero response by the zero-data inverse.
