3521 — The Minimal Prime-Jet Renormalization Is a Cutoff-Dependent Reflection-Odd Exponential

A fixed regular archimedean multiplier cannot cancel the divergent finite-prime central logarithmic derivative. The minimal algebraic repair is

ρX(s)=exp⁡[−cX(s−1/2)],\rho_X(s)=\exp[-c_X(s-1/2)],

where (c_X=\gamma_X'(1/2)/\gamma_X(1/2)).

This factor preserves reflection inversion, equals one at the fixed point, and cancels the first jet. Reflection forces the logarithm of every normalized counterterm to contain only odd powers; higher freedom begins at cubic order.

The factor is not authorized merely because it works. A completed Hadamard/Tate/source construction must derive the entire cutoff-compatible odd counterterm tower.
