8. One of the conceptual advantages of deriving the theory of an atom in a molecule from Schwinger's principle is that it yields both Schrödinger's equation and the Heisenberg equation of motion in a single unified approach, by combining the action principle with Dirac's transformation theory.

30. In a nonequilibrium geometry, the atomic statement of the virial theorem is again in accord with the statement for the total molecule, the kinetic energy now containing a component from the atom's share of the virial of the Feynman forces acting on the nuclei, the quantity W(Ω)31, to yield -T(Ω) = T(Ω) + V(Ω) + W(Ω) = E(Ω) + W(Ω). Thus the energy of an atom in a molecule is always defined and, like all atomic properties, is additive.
