Abstract
We stand in the field theory and mathematical physics applications view of divergence (divergence) vector fields with zero value outside the sources and sinks of the field and almost undetectable levels in the past is not correct. This view does not fit the facts clearly observed spatial divergence of physical flows of vector fields. Proposed clarification understanding of their divergence (divergence) as changes in the bulk density of the flow of a vector quantity in a particular point in the field, or else, as the spatial derivative of the vector field at a given point (change of the vector in its own way).
