A Zero Is Exactly When the Cumulative Seam Enters H1

For a decaying source (A), define its scalar transform and cumulative seam profile by

$$F=\int_0^\infty A(y)\,dy, \qquad B(L)=\int_0^L A(y)\,dy=F-G(L).$$

When (A,G\in L^2) and (G(L)\to0), one has

$$B\in H^1(0,\infty) \quad\Longleftrightarrow\quad F=0.$$

The only obstruction is the constant asymptotic mode (F). Hence a scalar zero is precisely when the expanding seam becomes a finite-energy graph state.

There is also a uniform logarithmic sampling theorem:

$$\sum_p\frac{|b(\log p)|^2}{p} \le3\|b\|_{H^1}^2.$$

It follows by enlarging primes to integers, partitioning the half-line into cells ([\log n,\log(n+1)]), and applying the one-dimensional trace estimate. Therefore the primitive sampled seam becomes Hilbert automatically at a zero. Away from a zero, its samples approach the nonzero constant (F), and the prime harmonic series forces divergence.

This supplies the geometric mechanism behind the previously observed completion-class jump: zeros remove the constant boundary mode. It characterizes every zero but does not prove RH. Zero confinement still requires a two-sector theorem showing that simultaneous reciprocal admission and adjoint matching can occur only on the unitary seam.
