    The action, integral of the Lagrangian. Minimizing it gives you the equations of motion, or in general the Euler-Lagrange equations. Using a different lagrangian gives different equations, I’ve seen this method used for deriving classical mechanics, relativistic mechanics and the Ginzburg-Landau equations (superconductivity).
