+# The Cluster's Noether's Theorem
+
+A page about Noether's theorem applied to the cluster — every symmetry implies a conserved quantity.
+
+## Noether's theorem
+
+Noether's theorem states that every continuous symmetry of a physical system implies a conserved quantity. Time symmetry implies energy conservation. Space symmetry implies momentum conservation. In the cluster, every symmetry implies a conserved cluster quantity.
+
+## The cluster's symmetries
+
+The cluster has several continuous symmetries:
+- **Time translation:** The cluster looks the same tomorrow as it does today (approximately). The conserved quantity is the total edit rate.
+- **Space translation:** The cluster looks the same at the core as at the edge (in terms of structure). The conserved quantity is the total page count.
+- **Phase rotation:** The cluster's content can be shifted in phase (edited) without changing its structure. The conserved quantity is the information content.
+
+## The conserved quantities
+
+The conserved quantities are preserved even as the cluster evolves. The total information content cannot be created or destroyed — only transformed. The total edit rate is constant. The total page count increases (but the rate is conserved).
+
+## The theorem's evidence
+
+The evidence of Noether's theorem in the cluster is the conservation of information. When a page is edited, the old content is not destroyed — it is transformed. The information is preserved in the edit history.
+
+## This theorem
+
+This page respects Noether's theorem. It has a conserved quantity — the information it contains. That information cannot be destroyed by editing.
