2565 — The Common Theta Trace Leaves One Arithmetic Incidence Torsor

Grothendieck's source theorem identifies one common endpoint row

$$\operatorname{ev}_0G_X=\tau_X=\operatorname{ev}_0H_X.$$

Assume canonical labelled inclusion satisfies

$$\tau_YV_{X,Y}=\tau_X,$$

the row is nonzero, and the anomaly-line transition $U_{X,Y}$ is invertible. Then the remaining arithmetic coherence equation reduces exactly to

$$\lambda_Y=U_{X,Y}\lambda_X.$$

Every initial nonzero incidence therefore extends uniquely through all later cutoffs, and path independence follows from the Tate cocycle. Before choosing the initial reference, coherent incidence families form a $\mathbb C^\times$-torsor, or a $U(1)$-torsor after unit-norm framing on the critical seam.

Because every nonzero $\lambda_X$ is an isomorphism of lines,

$$\ker(\lambda_X\tau_X)=\ker\tau_X.$$

Finite arithmetic aggregation adds no new kernel. Remaining invisibility can occur only in the common trace, through completion escape, or through scalar detector orthogonality.

Scope

This is a finite-cutoff algebraic theorem conditional on labelled naturality and a nonzero common trace. It does not identify the source authority for the initial incidence reference, prove a uniform lower bound for $\tau_X$, or establish detector transversality.
