For a list φs of 𝓕.FieldOp, a grading compliant Wick contraction φsΛ of φs,
and a Wick contraction φsucΛ of [φsΛ]ᵘᶜ, the following relation holds
(join φsΛ φsucΛ).sign = φsΛ.sign * φsucΛ.sign.
In φsΛ.sign the sign is determined by starting with the contracted pair
whose first element occurs at the left-most position. This lemma manifests that this
choice does not matter, and that contracted pairs can be brought together in any order.
For a list φs of 𝓕.FieldOp, a Wick contraction φsΛ of φs,
and a Wick contraction φsucΛ of [φsΛ]ᵘᶜ,
(join φsΛ φsucΛ).sign • (join φsΛ φsucΛ).timeContract is equal to the product of
φsΛ.sign • φsΛ.timeContractandφsucΛ.sign • φsucΛ.timeContract.
