Massless homogeneity of (XVI-K, Lemma lem:homog) and (XVI-K, Lemma lem:nonzero) give the contact form for the scale-variation coefficient , but do not by themselves evaluate it or prove : a nonzero homogeneous distribution of degree may still have vanishing spherical average against the radial derivative of . An explicit nonzero scaling residue in the reserved anomaly sense would require either the angular integral of on the unit sphere (or an equivalent Hadamard coefficient) or an independent computation of . Neither is imported from XVI-K/XVI-J in a form that yields a numerical nonvanishing here. Unresolved: whether for the present , and whether a nonzero scaling residue (anomaly form) occurs.
