This definition bundle fixes the geometric and analytic objects needed to state the order-classification theorem for harmonic maps into Euclidean buildings. It defines an NNN-dimensional Euclidean Coxeter datum from a finite affine reflection group and its finite rotational image WWW, a complete metric Euclidean building equipped with a maximal compatible apartment atlas, and a connected open domain in a complex one-dimensional manifold. It then gives concrete Korevaar--Schoen-style local energy, Sobolev, trace, boundary-moment, frequency, harmonic-minimization, and order predicates. The main proposition PossibleOrdersProblem requires a nonconstant harmonic map and concludes that the order is defined, equals m/km/km/k with positive integers m,km,km,k and k∣∣W∣k\mid |W|k∣∣W∣, and in rank one equals m/2m/2m/2 for some m≥2m\ge2m≥2. The analytic quantities are determined by the geometry rather than passed in as arbitrary semantic predicates.

# Canonical foundations for harmonic maps into Euclidean buildings

The definitions in this file contain no user-supplied Sobolev predicate,
energy density, volume measure, boundary measure, or frequency function.
The source is a one-dimensional complex manifold, the Coxeter groups act by
concrete affine/linear isometries, and the analytic quantities are fixed by a
normalized Korevaar--Schoen difference-quotient construction in complex
coordinates.

The normalization `4 / (pi * epsilon^4)` is the two-dimensional normalization:
for a smooth Euclidean-valued map the approximate density converges to the
usual squared Hilbert--Schmidt norm of its derivative.
