Generation from coordinates and coordinate derivations #
This is the presentation-free coordinate-elimination argument. A finite family of elements and dual derivations generates every intrinsic finite-order differential operator, provided that commuting with all the coordinates already characterizes multiplication operators.
A derivation is a finite-order operator. This is exported separately from the coordinate-generation theorem so concrete carriers can expose their derivation generators without importing an application-specific predicate.
Finite-order variant: the coordinate-rigidity hypothesis is required only
for operators in algebra. Every intrinsic finite-order differential
operator belongs to any linear subspace containing all multiplications and
stable under right composition by a finite dual coordinate frame. No
multiplicative closure of the subspace, or commutation hypothesis among the
derivations, is required.
