Theta Tail-Seam Coherency Is a Two-Sheeted Light Cone

Let (U) and (V) be the half-line transforms of the two reciprocal theta tails. Their powers and the complex transform of the straddling-seam convolution assemble into

$$H= \begin{pmatrix} |U|^2 & UV\\ \overline{UV} & |V|^2 \end{pmatrix}.$$

This is a positive rank-one coherency matrix. In Stokes coordinates,

$$S_0=|U|^2+|V|^2, \qquad S_1=2\operatorname{Re}(UV),$$

$$S_2=-2\operatorname{Im}(UV), \qquad S_3=|U|^2-|V|^2,$$

its determinant identity is

$$S_0^2=S_1^2+S_2^2+S_3^2.$$

Completed tail sum and complex seam coherence retain (S_0,S_1,S_2). Hence they determine

$$|S_3|=\sqrt{S_0^2-S_1^2-S_2^2}.$$

Only the sign of the Krein coordinate remains. Reciprocal exchange fixes the first three coordinates and reverses (S_3). Thus the continuous antisymmetric kernel of the linear cell observation collapses, on the physical rank-one source image, to a two-sheeted orientation fiber.

After normalization by (S_0), the spatial comparison vector lies on the unit sphere. This is the exact geometric meaning of the previously intuited circle: it is a coherence sphere for two reciprocal sectors, not a circle of zero locations.

The remaining RH-bearing conjecture is sheet preservation: theta/Tate dynamics initializes a definite sign of (S_3) in each open sector and cannot reach (S_3=0) before the unitary seam.

Scope: this exact theorem reconstructs magnitude and reduces the fiber to two signs. It does not select a sign or prove sheet preservation.
