If x \leadsto x' is a nontrivial specialization of points of X, then
\dim _ x(X) \leq \dim _{x'}(X),
\dim (\mathcal{O}_{X, x}) < \dim (\mathcal{O}_{X, x'}),
\text{trdeg}_ k(\kappa (x)) > \text{trdeg}_ k(\kappa (x')), and
any maximal chain of nontrivial specializations x = x_0 \leadsto x_1 \leadsto \ldots \leadsto x_ n = x has length n = \text{trdeg}_ k(\kappa (x)) - \text{trdeg}_ k(\kappa (x')).
