The Canonical Prime Quadrature Residual Already Carries the Zeta Divisor

The source-derived prime-power sampling measure

$$d\nu_{\mathrm{arith}}(L) =\sum_{n\ge2}\frac{\Lambda(n)}n\delta_{\log n}(dL)$$

has Laplace transform

$$-\frac{\zeta'}{\zeta}(s+1).$$

Subtracting the continuous scale measure gives the exact quadrature residual

$$-\frac{\zeta'}{\zeta}(s+1)-\frac1s.$$

The pole at the zeta pole is removed, but every nontrivial zero ( ho) produces a pole at (s=\rho-1). Thus the missing arithmetic quadrature error already carries the zeta divisor. Controlling it by scalar continuation or a claimed sign would import the problem being solved.

The moving-seam route remains viable only through a pre-aggregation source coboundary, an independent operator law, or exact quadrature on a separately derived restricted theta function class.
