"""v271 -- QFT4D.SPERT.02: a concrete Epstein-Glaser order-2 (one-loop) calculation,
taking the S_pert skeleton (v269) from "exists" to an actual EG renormalization
number. No path integral: the EG scaling-degree criterion is computed for the
marginal quartic, the unique logarithmic counterterm is identified, and the
one-loop running it generates is extracted -- with the SAME loop factor 1/(16 pi^2)
that normalises the spectral-action geometric quartic (the EG initial condition).
Epstein-Glaser causal perturbation theory (Brunetti-Fredenhagen pAQFT):
S(g) = sum_n (i^n/n!) int T_n(x_1..x_n) g(x_1)..g(x_n).
T_1 = :L_int: is already well-defined (no extension); the first renormalization is
the order-2 time-ordered product T_2, whose UV behaviour is governed by Steinmann's
SCALING DEGREE sd of the coinciding-point distribution.
[E] 1. ORDER STRUCTURE. T_1 = :L_int: needs no extension; the first EG extension
(the one-loop renormalization) is the order-2 product T_2 -- the honest first
nontrivial step beyond the v269 existence skeleton.
[E] 2. SCALING DEGREE. the massless Feynman propagator has scaling degree
sd(D_F) = 2 in d = 4; the s-channel one-loop bubble (two propagators) has
sd = 2*2 = 4 = d, so the UV singular order is omega = sd - d = 0.
[E] 3. ONE LOGARITHMIC COUNTERTERM. omega = 0 means the EG extension freedom is
the polynomials in d^alpha delta with |alpha| <= omega = 0 -- EXACTLY ONE
local constant (the coupling renormalization). Logarithmic, renormalizable,
finite -- no infinite tower (matches v269's finite counterterm basis).
[E] 4. LOOP NORMALISATION. the one-loop factor is Omega_3 / (2 (2 pi)^4) =
(2 pi^2)/(2 (2 pi)^4) = 1/(16 pi^2) EXACTLY (Omega_3 = surface of the unit
3-sphere) -- the same 1/(16 pi^2) that normalises the spectral-action a_4.
[C] 5. ONE-LOOP BETA. the unique log counterterm's mu-dependence gives the phi^4
one-loop beta function beta_lambda = 3 lambda^2/(16 pi^2) (symmetry factor 3
= the s,t,u channels) -- a concrete EG order-2 RG number, with the EG initial
condition fixed by the spectral action: lambda_Phi(UV) = 1/(16 pi^2).
[O] 6. SCOPE. this is ORDER 2 / one loop, one diagram class; the all-order EG
construction and the nonperturbative ambient measure (QG.AMB.01) stay open.
S_pert remains a perturbative formal power series (v269/v265).
Status: [E] the order structure + scaling degree + counterterm count + loop factor
(exact); [C] the one-loop beta + the spectral-action initial condition; [O] all-order
+ nonperturbative. Turns the v269 skeleton into a concrete EG one-loop number.
Exact core mirrored in Wolfram. Python (sympy + math).
