A family of prime constellation detectors
expressed as rational powers of 2π, built from the sum-of-divisors function σ. The central object
equals 1 if and only if both
and
are prime, and is strictly less than 1 otherwise. This construction generalizes naturally to k-tuples via a product formula. A zeta-regularized product identity
is created and decomposed into an associated sum of three explicitly characterized sub-series whose regularized total equals ?5/48, a value determined purely by
and
. It is shown that the composite sub-series
converges to a constant numerically close to
