1360 — Intrinsic Primes Generate a Formal Euler Product

Epistemic-graph events: 1384; corrected claim notation superseded at 1385.

Let [a] denote the basis class of a nonzero element of the conditional initial semiring, with [a][b]=[ab]. For every intrinsically defined prime p, the singleton identity inertia determinant gives

$$L_p=(1-[p])^{-1}=\sum_{r\ge0}[p^r].$$

Unique factorization then proves the coefficientwise identity

$$\boxed{ \prod_{p\ \mathrm{intrinsic}}(1-[p])^{-1} =\sum_{a\ne0}[a]. }$$

No external prime list or selected correspondence degree enters this formal Euler product. Evaluating [a] by the analytic character a^{-s} for Re(s)>1 recovers

$$\prod_p(1-p^{-s})^{-1}=\sum_{a\ge1}a^{-s}=\zeta(s).$$

The formal determinant product is derived conditionally; the analytic character, continuation, gamma factor, functional equation, and spectral interpretation of zeros are not.

Scope: this remains a pointed-pi_0 theorem, not a full-Carrier or physical arithmetic construction.

Durable verification:

• Research packet: research/grothendieck/intrinsic-formal-euler-product.md.
• Exact proof by coefficientwise unique factorization.
• Epistemic-graph events: 1384 and notation correction 1385.
