The Riemann Hypothesis via the GL Hilbert-Polya Operator: v8 — Honest Status

v8 RTSG approach to the Riemann Hypothesis via the GL Hilbert-Polya operator L = A^2 - A - alpha with Mellin symbol L-hat(s) = s(s-1) - alpha. For alpha < -1/4, the symbol forces all roots to the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. The condensate on the modular surface PSL(2,Z)\H is stable against the discrete Maass spectrum and unstable at zeta zeros in the continuous Eisenstein spectrum. Full kill log: v1-v7.1 all dead (8 approaches killed by adversarial review). Two open gaps: essential self-adjointness unproven; trace formula vs Weil explicit formula unverified. Steps 1-2 of proof path are tractable. Confidence: 28%.
