3518 — Finite-Prime Fourier–Tate Frames Are Scalar-Trivial but Their Central First Jets Diverge

Every finite-prime transition is holomorphic and zero-free in the open critical strip, and every cutoff satisfies (gamma_X(1/2)=1).

Nevertheless,

$$\frac{\gamma_X'}{\gamma_X}(1/2) = \sum_{p\le X} \frac{2(\log p)p^{-1/2}}{1-p^{-1/2}} \longrightarrow\infty.$$

Thus the scalar frames are perfectly trivial at the fixed point while their first jets escape. The naive finite Euler half-log frames cannot define a cutoff-uniform Clark-jet completion. A source-derived completed renormalization must cancel the divergent prime current.
