3126 — Prime Shifts Are Unipotent and Reciprocal Windows Escape to the Unit at Completion

Logarithmic translation sends the centered Gaussian tail to itself plus a Gaussian bulk cocycle. It therefore acts trivially on the five-cell boundary quotient and unipotently on the full extension.

Reciprocal reflection cancels the quotient class at every finite label and leaves the even bulk window

$$W_L(q)=H(q+L)-H(q-L).$$

For each finite $L$, this is Gaussian-decaying. But

$$W_L(q)\longrightarrow-1$$

locally as $L\to\infty$. At prime scale $L=\log p$, the repaired windows therefore escape every fixed Gaussian step and reconstruct the constant boundary mode at completion.

Scope

Finite reciprocal sewing closes exactly. The result shows that this does not imply restricted-product closure. Primitive and prime-square coefficient grades must control the widening-window family.
