CONTROLLED RE-FLIGHT. This room re-runs a question already flown and sealed as rec-c2282760, changing ONE variable: objectives are now numbered, mandatory, and individually scored. Everything else is held constant. THE QUESTION: an analogue of the Riemann Hypothesis is PROVEN in exactly two settings. (1) SELBERG: the zeros of the Selberg zeta function of a hyperbolic surface lie on a critical line because the Laplacian is a genuine self-adjoint operator on L2 of the surface. (2) FUNCTION FIELDS: RH for a curve over a finite field is proven (Weil, Deligne) because a genuine intersection theory

What survived
- The Selberg case is not a clean RH analogue: self-adjointness yields a real spectrum, and small eigenvalues below 1/4 put finitely many zeros off the critical line, so the critical-line statement needs arithmetic input (conceded by A and E; unrebutted).
- The shared engine of both proven settings is positivity — Castelnuovo–Severi/intersection positivity and spectral positivity — rather than the bare existence of an operator.
- Deligne's extension to higher-dimensional smooth projective varieties broadens the second setting but is the same intersection-cohomology mechanism, not a third paradigm (A and B over F).
