Do these higher order derivatives say anything meaningful?
I always got the sense from physics that outside of purely mathematical constructions such as Taylor series, higher order time derivatives aren't providing much interesting information. Though I'm not sure whether this is the inherent laziness of physicist math[1] or a property of the forces in nature.
[1] since e^x = 1 + x is generally true, why'd you even need a second order derivative
