Proof Architecture (Tier 1 → Tier 2)

Tier 1: det(I−L_s) ∈ ℂ (definition)

Tier 2: det(I−L̃_s) ∝ ξ(s) (conjectural)

The conjectural bridge links Riemann zeros to spectral return of the φ-weighted transfer operator. Self-adjointness of H_cand is intended to suggest eigenvalues real (Tier 2 conjecture) — zeros would lie on the critical line.

φ-Geometric Entropy (log-free)

S_φ(T) = Σ_k p_k · φ^{-(k+1)}

Replaces Shannon entropy — no logarithm anywhere in the framework (log-free protocol). Maximum S_φ = φ⁻¹ ≈ 0.618 achieved when branch 0 dominates. Uniform distribution yields S_φ ≈ 0.177.

Phase Wheel Guide

The 9 golden spokes are the φ-decay branch weights w_k = φ^{-(k+1)}. The green arc traces the balance vector B_φ(T). The gold dot marks the half-vector (½ anchor). A singularity light fires when the lead phase aligns and |B^λ| collapses toward zero.
