🎬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=βˆ’tT^{12}=t, T^{21}=-t ), the divergence is the 90Β°-rotated gradient, βˆ‡aTab=(βˆ’βˆ‚yt,βˆ‚xt)βˆ‡_a T^{ab} = (βˆ’βˆ‚_y t, βˆ‚_x t). The demo shows that the antisymmetric tensor encodes a circulation-like field whose divergence is orthogonal to βˆ‡t and has the same local magnitude structure, illustrating the geometric relation between antisymmetry and rotation.
