For the initial field ϕ(x)=tanh(x+c)−tanh(x−c)−1 and zero initial time derivative, evaluate the scalar-field momentum flux at the midpoint: ϕx​(0)=0 and ϕ(0)=2tanhc−1. The force on the left kink is the displayed positive value, attractive toward the right antikink. This exact initial expression has the large-separation asymptotic 32e−2d for d=2c. If the initial velocity at the cut is ψ(0), subtract ψ(0)2/2.
