3055 — The Moment Ladder Collapses the Spectral Tail to One Base Level Set

The half-line transforms of the positive theta moments satisfy

$$2F_{k+1}(z)=\left(z+2k+\frac12\right)F_k(z)+M_k(0).$$

For the physical readout (F_\Phi=4F_2-6F_1), two elimination steps give

$$F_\Phi(z) =(z^2-1/4)F_0(z)+(z-1/2)M_0(0)+2M_1(0).$$

Reciprocal sewing cancels the odd seam term:

$$X_\Phi(z) =(z^2-1/4)X_0(z)-M_0(0)+4M_1(0).$$

Hence every zero is exactly a solution of

$$(z^2-1/4)X_0(z)=M_0(0)-4M_1(0).$$

The infinite carrier ladder therefore collapses, after the physical compression, to one base theta tail and two seam moments. The remaining RH-bearing problem is orientation of this single complex level set using the exact Poisson lattice correspondence.

Scope

The carrier-to-tail recurrence and level-set reduction are exact. No level-set orientation, zero confinement, or RH theorem is proved.
