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.
