3423 — Holomorphy and Massive-Vector Exchange Do Not Fix the Threshold-Completed Portal
Claim
The selected CP-even real-norm portal is a Kähler D-term, not a holomorphic superpotential operator. Standard (N=1) superpotential nonrenormalization therefore protects the wrong operator class. Exact (N=2) removes the extra portal, while the breaking needed to restore it reopens an independent coefficient.
The strongest minimal D-term repair, classical elimination of one Higgsed vector current channel, gives
It fixes the tree-level sign after charge orientation is declared and cancels the gauge coupling. It does not fix the magnitude: (v=1) and (v=2) give (-2) and (-1/2) at unit charges. The allowed Kähler boundary
cancels the exchange contribution exactly.
Classification
Massive-vector exchange is a source-derived tree-level sign selector, not a
complete Deutschian explanation of the portal. A progressive successor must
derive the charge orientation, fix (q_\phi v) in the physical clock, and
forbid the additive D-term boundary through a Ward identity or complete UV
matching theorem. RG-basin survival and a calibrated physical16 instrument
remain separate gates.
