thesis
A working instrument, not a proof. Plate by plate it separates what symmetry can compel from what it cannot, the Lo Shu square whose centre is 5 because 2x = 10, and zeta whose centre is Re(s) = ½ because 2s = 1. Same shape, same centre logic. The Riemann Hypothesis restated without jargon: every note in the prime chord is exactly equally loud.
what it does
- A mirror permits off-centre pairs, symmetry alone proves nothing
- The centre is the fixed point of the mirror: forced, not chosen
- Zeta carries two mirrors, so off-line zeros arrive in fours
- The only known force compelling a centre is being an observable
what it does not claim
None of this is new mathematics. Plates I-IV are standard; Plate V is a century-old open programme. Rodgers and Tao proved Λ ≥ 0 in 2018 while the Hypothesis needs Λ ≤ 0, so it holds only if Λ = 0 exactly. Any argument that makes it feel comfortable has gone wrong somewhere.
