III@2#prop:lower-order-persistence
Keep the map and the fixed witness of Theorem thm:product. Adding regular formal terms beginning at order cannot make
constant on that witness fiber. Likewise, adding terms beginning at order to cannot remove the nonzero order- free-shell defect of Proposition prop:tangency-witness.
Proof. The first difference has coefficient at order . The second equation defect has coefficient . Formal equality with nonnegative powers requires each coefficient to vanish separately.
