The four-dimensional membrane Fierz rearrangement identity makes the displayed supertranslation-invariant four-form closed. It is locally the exterior derivative of a three-form potential, which can change by an exact form under target supersymmetry. Pulling the potential back to a closed worldvolume gives an invariant Wess-Zumino brane coupling. The charge magnitude and normalization of this form are fixed together by cancellation of the area variation under kappa symmetry.
