Local Tate Defect Channels Exist Off Seam and Change Variance with Height

For

$$\gamma_p(z)=\frac{1-p^{-1/2}e^{-z\log p}} {1-p^{-1/2}e^{z\log p}}, \qquad z=\sigma+it,$$

the exact local defect is

$$1-|\gamma_p(z)|^2 = \frac{4p^{-1/2}\sinh(\sigma\log p) \left(p^{-1/2}\cosh(\sigma\log p)-\cos(t\log p)\right)} {|1-p^{-1/2}e^{z\log p}|^2}.$$

It vanishes on the critical seam but is generally nonzero off seam. Near the seam its sign flips between heights $t=0$ and $t=\pi/\log p$ while $\sigma$ remains fixed.

Therefore local theta/Tate incidence does authorize off-seam defect channels, and it does not give either open half-sector a uniform contractive variance. A seam-only support theorem cannot descend factor by factor. Universal Julia dilation is too weak, while single-sector coisometry is too strong.

Any surviving zero-confinement law must assemble signed reciprocal incidence, primitive and square boundary currents, and the archimedean channel before positive defect-space formation. The phase/positivity tradeoff is structural: positive metricization loses the vertical variance that the ordered skew port retains.
