This module defines local Lagrangians of finite order for fields on Space d with values in
EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin m).
In the first local stage of the Classical Field Theory development, a local k-th order
Lagrangian is treated as a function on JetPoint d m k. This matches the local book-level picture
L : Jet^k(Ω, R^m) → R while postponing any stronger smoothness packaging until the ambient
structure on local jet-point data has been made explicit enough to support it naturally.

A. Local Lagrangians
A local k-th order Lagrangian for fields Space d → EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin m).
The underlying jet-dependent function.
The derivatives of the Lagrangian with respect to the jet coordinates u^a_I.
The first derivative of the Lagrangian along affine lines in the jet-fiber coordinates is
given by the pairing with the coordinate derivatives.
Public regularity package for a smooth local lagrangian in explicit local jet coordinates:
continuity of the lagrangian itself together with smoothness of all jet-coordinate derivatives.
Continuity of the coefficient family (s, x) ↦ ∂L/∂u_I^a (j^k(F s)(x)) along a
one-parameter family of fields F : ℝ → Space d → EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin m).
