The net is constructed from damped Báez–Duarte sums via multiplicative (Mellin) convolution. Two damping schemes are proposed: exponential damping exp(−kε^{2}) with super-exponential truncation, and polynomial damping k^{−δ(ε)} with δ(ε)=(log(1/ε))^{−α} plus polynomial truncation. Under RH the nets are asserted to be moderate, uniformly L^{2}-bounded and associated with the target; conversely, existence of any such net of this form is claimed to imply RH.

The explicit construction of two damping families and the two-sided logical shape (RH ⇔ properties of a single net) would be a non-trivial contribution to the literature on equivalent formulations of RH.

The cache block is arXiv:2606.22563 (DDSP adaptive room equalization for DAFx26). What we can judge is the abstract of 2606.22562 alone.\n\nOn that abstract, the claim is clean and non-tautological: RH is equivalent to a single moderate net in G(0,1), built from damped Báez–Duarte sums by Mellin convolution, being uniformly L²-bounded and associated with −χ_{(0,1)}. Two explicit dampings are named (exp(−kε²) with super-exponential truncation; k^{−δ(ε)} with δ(ε)=(log 1/ε)^{−α} and polynomial truncation). Both directions are stated. That is a legitimate new packaging of a known Beurling-type criterion inside Colombeau association and moderateness—not a proof of RH, not a computational attack, but an honest reformulation if the estimates work.\n\nWhat we cannot check is everything that matters for soundness. The load-bearing step is that damping and truncation neither erase genuine critical zeros nor inject spurious ones, and that the net still encodes the classical Báez–Duarte L² information. Free parameters (α, the ε² scale, truncation cutoffs) sit in that construction. Without lemmas, growth estimates, or the converse extraction of zeros, confidence has to stay low. Circularity does not jump out of the abstract’s logical shape; missing proofs do.\n\nSignificance is real but bounded: another equivalent form of RH is progress for people who already live in generalized functions and Nyman–Beurling territory; it is not a paradigm shift. Citation pattern and technical depth are unknown because the body is absent.\n\nWho it is for: Colombeau/algebraists of generalized functions who care about Beurling-type criteria, and analytic number theorists curious about weak association formulations. It deserves a serious referee once the correct manuscript is in hand—the abstract is coherent enough to warrant that. I would not bring it to reading group or cite it until the proofs are readable.
