3794 — The Bare Fourier–Tate Involution Grades the Antipode but Cannot Confine It

On the completed one-sided chart pair

$$V(z)=\bigl(K(z),K(-z)\bigr),$$

reciprocal sewing is the constant sheet swap. In the symmetric and antisymmetric basis it acts by

$$(F,G)\longmapsto(F,-G).$$

A scalar zero is therefore an ordinary vector in the negative eigenspace:

$$V(z)=G(z)(1,-1).$$

The involution authorizes this state and contains no dependence on $\operatorname{Re}z$. Every constant Hermitian metric commuting with the swap has the same deficiency: it grades the two channels but cannot locate an antipodal incidence.

The missing control must retain a spectral connection, analytic domain, or Green boundary form whose transport is sensitive to the half-plane and which reduces to unitary Fourier–Tate sewing on the seam. Bare Fourier parity cannot serve as the independent control tower.
