On the jet space , the functional (eq:observable) has coefficients

Each coefficient is invariant under the formal gauge group (eq:formal-pullback). Hence descends to the orbit space of .

Proof. Taylor expansion of , using (eq:jets) and (eq:inverse-coordinate), gives (eq:O0-jet)–(eq:psi2).

For invariance, equation (eq:coordinate-covariance) says . Therefore

Since ,

Smearing with the same fixed function of the relational labels proves coefficientwise invariance.

All coefficients are integrals of smooth functions against compact . The coordinate coefficients at points of depend on finite-time wave problems, so the definition is meaningful on the declared smooth domain.
