8. Here and throughout the following, vector treatment of the appropriate variables is assumed, although all vector notations are omitted to avoid congestion. Multiplication of vector variables is therefore to be understood as a dot product. An indexed notation of vector components will be used only when unavoidalbe for clarity, and summation convention will then be implied.

10. In the derivation below, the following delicate point should be noted: R (t, ψ, u) is, by definition, a function of three variables, whereas H(t,ψ,u,p) is a function of an additional argument p = ∂φ/∂ψ. In other words, although p depends on ψ with respect to R, this is not the case with respect to H where ψ and p are to be taken as independent variables. I Eq. (17), we wish to vary R with respect to ψ, which means H must be varied in both ψ and p; ∂R/∂ψ↔{(∂p/∂ψ)∂/∂p + ∂/∂ψ}H.
11. ψ0 is translated to a simple time derivative of χ(t).
