3685 — Heat Naturality Rigidifies Scalar Gauges but Not Source Endomorphisms
Result
Although no nonconstant scalar multiplier commutes with Newman heat, the heat commutant contains every constant-coefficient differential operator.
For even ,
commutes with heat, preserves parity and reality, and corresponds to the positive Fourier-side weight . Yet
has only off-seam zeros.
Consequence
Heat naturality provides scalar-gauge rigidity but not uniqueness of the initial source. The remaining provenance theorem must retain the exact labelled theta seed or another content-addressed initial-state invariant.
