3980 — No Finite Seam Jet Selects the Global Completed Flow

For any finite seam-jet order $m$, set

$$K=\left\lfloor\frac m2\right\rfloor+1$$

and define

$$h_K(q)=q^{2K}e^{-q^2}.$$

This hostile is positive, even, entire, and rapidly decreasing. Since $2K>m$,

$$h_K^{(j)}(0)=0 \qquad (0\le j\le m).$$

It therefore preserves every declared seam derivative through order $m$. Nevertheless,

$$h_K'(q) = 2q^{2K-1}(K-q^2)e^{-q^2}>0$$

for $0<q<\sqrt K$. Adding a sufficiently large positive multiple to any positive even completed kernel preserves its finite seam germ while creating an increasing off-seam direction.

Thus no finite seam jet, even together with positivity, modular evenness, and rapid decay, selects global monotonicity. Increasing the finite jet order only relocates the same failure.

Scope

The hostile need not preserve the integer-winding heat expansion or the full theta modular identity away from the seam. Those global source structures remain viable. The theorem closes only finite-germ explanations.
