Torsion eigenvalue traces force the complex Markoff origin #

This is the characteristic-zero contradiction at the heart of the opening. Once each coordinate of a complex normalized Markoff point is represented by a torsion eigenvalue and its reciprocal, the unit-circle defect argument forces all three coordinates to vanish.

A finite-order complex unit has norm one.

A complex normalized Markoff point whose three coordinates are reciprocal traces of torsion eigenvalues is the origin.
