2580 — Clark Energy Is Equivalent to the Theta Shift Graph Norm

For the shift generator $D=\partial_t$ on $H^1(0,\infty)$, the source first-order energy is

$$B_a(f)=\|f'\|_2^2+a^2\|f\|_2^2+a|f(0)|^2.$$

The endpoint trace satisfies

$$|f(0)|^2\le\|f\|_2^2+\|f'\|_2^2.$$

Hence, for $a>0$,

$$\min(1,a^2)\|f\|_D^2 \le B_a(f) \le(\max(1,a^2)+a)\|f\|_D^2.$$

At $a=1/2$, the constants are $1/4$ and $3/2$. Thus the source Clark channel controls the complete rigged shift graph, not only endpoint evaluation. Ordinary $L^2$ germ observation remains insufficient to control high-frequency graph norm.

The unresolved RH comparison is now specifically between the four-channel global Poisson/Green form and $B_a$, uniformly on compact subsets of an open half-sector. Scalar detector transversality remains separate.

Scope

This proves Clark graph-form equivalence. It does not identify the global Poisson/Green quadratic form with Clark energy or authorize a finite-horizon physical detector.
