2644 — Clark Jet Tower Is Source-Closed but Zero-Loop Supply Is Positive

Repeated Clark differentiation is generated within the theta source category:

$$(1+ia\partial_s)^jF =\sum_{k=0}^j\binom jk(ia)^kF^{(k)}.$$

At a zero of multiplicity (m), the ordinary endpoint row and the (m)-th Clark row have joint Gramian determinant

$$|a|^{2m}|F^{(m)}|^2>0.$$

Thus the filtered jet family is pointwise faithful at every scalar zero. But on the corresponding identity boundary loop, the required supply equals this positive Gramian. Scalar silence does not imply zero flux.

Any confinement theorem must derive a separately typed signed arithmetic current cancelling the positive Clark supply.
