Use graded left derivatives and the graded tensor-product rule. Normalize the even contraction operator by
Define
For homogeneous kernels of degrees , its -contraction is
Here drops the paired variables; indices and Koszul signs are contracted as prescribed above.
The orientation convention is fixed once:
for covectors of canceled by that line. Zero entries occur when individual line factors are smooth. This convention is also used for the continuity stages.
