Main Body


1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(F\): \(\in \{\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C}\}\), with the canonical field structure
\(V_1\): \(\in \{\text{ the normed } F \text{ vectors spaces }\}\)
\(V_2\): \(\in \{\text{ the normed } F \text{ vectors spaces }\}\)
\(f\): \(: V_1 \to V_2\), \(\in \{\text{ the orthogonal linear maps }\}\)
//

Statements:
\(f \in \{\text{ the motions }\}\)
//


2: Natural Language Description


For any \(F \in \{\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{C}\}\), with the canonical field structure, any normed \(F\) vectors spaces, \(V_1, V_2\), and any orthogonal linear map, \(f: V_1 \to V_2\), \(f\) is a motion.


3: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: choose any elements, \(v, v' \in V_1\); Step 2: see that \(\Vert v - v' \Vert = \Vert f (v) - f (v') \Vert\).

Step 1:

Let us choose any elements, \(v, v' \in V_1\).

Step 2:

\(\Vert v - v' \Vert = \Vert f (v - v') \Vert = \Vert f (v) - f (v') \Vert\).

So, \(f\) is a motion.
