Let be the graded algebra of smooth-coefficient polynomial jet expressions on unrestricted smooth germs in . Let be the algebra generated by compactly smeared local polynomial functionals under finite pointwise products.

The latter is multilocal: a product of two single-integral functionals is generally not a single-integral local functional. Both algebras are completed coefficientwise in the even formal parameter .

Fix smooth classical backgrounds and write

The formal inverse-metric coefficients are permitted coefficientwise. Neither nor is the host metric .

Define

The differential commutes with spacetime derivatives and uses the left graded Leibniz rule. In particular,
