The Endpoint Vanishing Period Is Regular and Nonzero
Sequence claim: seqclaim-feca19cfc02c89451fe48ce9.
Finite endpoint
On , the transverse double-cover equation is
Use the source-derived root coordinate
Then
and the local residue form becomes
The closed vanishing-cycle period is therefore, up to its ordered orientation,
Infinity endpoint
On , use . The exchanged equation is
With ,
again up to ordered orientation.
Consequence
In both charts the factors of cancel exactly. Hence
The local Gysin/vanishing-cycle map into Entry 1210's odd normalization costalk has rank one: the costalk is not killed by endpoint specialization. Its coefficient is the expected rank-one Kummer factor , respectively .
Epistemic boundary
This is a transverse local period calculation. It does not prove that the global Bunch--Davies relative chain contains either vanishing cycle. The physical activation question remains separate and must retain source contour, orientation, and occurrence data.
Classification
Next falsifier
Transport the ordered finite and infinity local cycles through the common projective radial overlap. Determine their Čech sign and whether the two rank-one costalk maps cancel, reinforce, or form a nontrivial extension before any physical-chain pairing is asserted.
