3753 — The Completed Xi Section Is Entirely an Integrality-Defect Readout

Replace the integer theta source

$$\Psi(t)=\sum_{n\ge1}e^{-\pi n^2t}$$

by its additive Haar continuum

$$\Psi_{\mathrm H}(t)=\int_0^\infty e^{-\pi x^2t}\,dx =\frac1{2\sqrt t}.$$

Its two half-Mellin contributions are (1/(1-s)) and (1/s). Their sum cancels the completion carrier (1/[s(s-1)]) exactly. Hence, with

$$\Delta(t)=\Psi(t)-\frac1{2\sqrt t},$$

the completed function is entirely

$$\Lambda(s)=\int_1^\infty \Delta(t)\left(t^{s/2}+t^{(1-s)/2}\right)\frac{dt}{t}.$$

Removing integrality therefore makes the completed scalar readout identically zero. The nonzero xi section is wholly the readout of lattice-minus-continuum discrepancy. Actual Riemann zeros are not failures of integrality; they are isolated cancellations inside the surviving signed discrepancy transform.

This explains why positivity of the unprojected theta source could not supply the required orientation: completion removes its continuum-positive mode. The remaining RH theorem belongs to the Poisson-sewn integrality defect.
