1367 — The Primitive Mobius Half-Line Has the Wrong Weyl Law

Epistemic-graph event: 1395.

Grant the candidate primitive Möbius carrier a circumference L and impose its available holonomy on logarithmic dilation:

$$f(y+L)=\eta f(y),\qquad \eta=\pm1.$$

The self-adjoint operator -i d/dy then has spectrum

$$\frac{2\pi n}{L}quad(\eta=1), \qquad \frac{(2n+1)\pi}{L}quad(\eta=-1),$$

and counting law

$$N_D(T)=\frac{L}{2\pi}T+O(1).$$

By contrast, the zeta-zero ordinates obey

$$N_\zeta(T)=\frac{T}{2\pi}\log\frac{T}{2\pi} -\frac{T}{2\pi}+O(\log T).$$

Thus no length and neither source-available holonomy can make this boundary quotient reproduce the zeros. The mismatch is asymptotic, not a tunable normalization error.

Scope: this falsifies the direct compact-circle realization of the primitive half-line. It does not exclude an infinite or energy-dependent source-derived boundary system.

Durable verification:

• Research packet: research/grothendieck/mobius-halfline-dilation-spectrum-no-go.md.
• Exact circle spectrum and Weyl-law comparison.
• Epistemic-graph event: 1395.
