For a fixed label-space test density represented by , define

The smearing is performed in coordinate-label space. Therefore no spacetime volume density is to be inserted into (eq:Of). An equivalent spacetime expression would contain the Jacobian of .

Expanding,

where

The notation emphasizes that the first-order expression itself is unchanged; its admitted gauge domain is changed.
