3701 — Complete Positive Prime Sieving Still Allows an Off-Seam Primitive Zero

Result

For any positive primitive seed $g$, the arithmetic completion

$$\Psi(u)=\sum_{n\ge1}n^{-1/2}g(u+\log n)$$

satisfies the full positive prime-sieve hierarchy.

Choosing $g=\phi_2+\phi_1$ gives an off-seam primitive-transform zero

$$z_0=\sqrt\pi e^{-i\pi/4}$$

inside the absolute Euler chamber. There

$$\widehat\Psi(z) = \widehat g(z)\zeta(1/2+iz),$$

so the primitive zero survives while the zeta factor is finite and nonzero.

Consequence

Complete positive prime sieving supplies arithmetic provenance but no zero-orientation theorem. The next indispensable structure is reciprocal Poisson sewing of the primitive cell with the moving archimedean endpoint.
