For every fixed , the nonlinear rule

does not preserve . It therefore does not descend to the unchanged unrestricted classical free-shell quotient.

A compactly smeared scalar equation detects the failure exactly at order .

Proof. Choose and a sufficiently small product neighborhood inside . Define

Thus , and on a sufficiently small time interval about .

Take the Grassmann algebra with one odd generator , and the smooth free configuration

All equations (eq:freeeq) hold.

Choose a nonnegative , supported in that neighborhood, normalized by

The functional

belongs to . On the displayed free configuration,

and therefore

It follows that

Thus .
