🎬how the divergence field emerges from the antisymmetric tensor

For an antisymmetric rank-(2,0) tensor built from a scalar amplitude t ( T12=t,T21=tT^{12}=t, T^{21}=-t ), the divergence is the 90°-rotated gradient, aTab=(yt,xt)∇_a T^{ab} = (−∂_y t, ∂_x t). The demo shows that the antisymmetric tensor encodes a circulation-like field whose divergence is orthogonal to ∇t and has the same local magnitude structure, illustrating the geometric relation between antisymmetry and rotation.
