Commentary.
Let t0 be a zero of the canonical critical-line completed-xi reading with positive multiplicity r: all derivatives below r vanish and the derivative of order r is nonzero. Every normal jet below r then vanishes, while the depth-r jet is the strictly positive square of the leading Taylor coefficient.
The two final public conjuncts concern the actual norm-squared normal intensity. Its leading transverse term has degree 2r with remainder of order 2r+2; at a simple zero this becomes the squared first derivative times the displacement squared, with quartic remainder.
The proof imports the canonical normal-jet convolution formula. It also uses conjugate reflection to prove evenness of the actual intensity and applies the pinned Taylor remainder theorem to that smooth function.
