3737 — A Scalar Zero Retains One Antisymmetric Channel and Splits the Carrier at One Quarter

Retain the coordinates

$$S=C+U+V, \qquad A=U-V, \qquad B=2C-U-V,$$

with $C=1/2$. Then $S+B=3/2$ identically. At every scalar zero,

$$S=0, \qquad B=\frac32, \qquad U=-\frac14+\frac A2, \qquad V=-\frac14-\frac A2.$$

Thus the zero fiber is an affine line carrying the antisymmetric residual channel $A$; the complete relational state does not vanish.

On the critical line reciprocal conjugation forces $A$ to be purely imaginary. The quarter offset is therefore source-derived: the completion carrier $1/2$ is split equally between the two reciprocal sectors at cancellation.

The faithful zero-state chart is $(S,A)$. RH asks that every intersection with $S=0$ occur over the reciprocal-conjugation fixed locus. Pure imaginarity of $A$ is its observable residual signature, though the converse requires a separate source-faithfulness theorem.
