The response map

is well defined. Its image is precisely

Proof. The differentiated coefficient of a total derivative has an overall factor , which vanishes on . A genuine tensor identity vanishes before and after differentiation. Thus equivalent density representatives have identical responses.

Raw coverage gives every allowed response as a constant combination of the , and every such combination comes from allowed raw contacts.
