For a fixed elliptic curve \\(E\/\\mathbb Q\\), we construct a coherent BSD source \\(S_{\\mathrm{BSD}}(E)\\) whose degree layers are defined by local coherence, global obstruction vanishing, and primitive terminal readout. The fixed curve determines a finite CG substrate \\(\\Sigma_E\\). The constrained-coherence capacity mechanism inherited from the GCT\u2013SCRC\u2013CS-SCT framework gives a finite upper bound on independent primitive terminal coherence directions. By the Exterior\u2013Terminal Support Law, admissible exterior source layers vanish above this capacity, hence the BSD source has a maximal nonzero terminal degree \\(r\\). Rank synchronization shows that any source-valid CG endpoint rank projection reads this same terminal degree: such a projection counts only source-supported rank data and is nondegenerate on the primitive terminal rank layer it is constructed to read. The arithmetic endpoint is identified with the Mordell\u2013Weil exterior filtration, whose maximal nonzero exterior degree is \\(\\mathrm{rank},E(\\mathbb Q)\\). The analytic endpoint is identified with terminal persistence of the analytically continued germ of \\(L(E,s)\\) in the filtration \\(\\mathcal I_1^k\\) of analytic germs vanishing at \\(s=1\\), whose maximal persistence depth is \\(\\mathrm{ord}_{s=1},L(E,s)\\). Thus the arithmetic and analytic CG endpoint rank projections identify both public BSD rank quantities with the same terminal source degree, giving<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">$$<br>\\mathrm{ord}_{s=1},L(E,s)=\\mathrm{rank},E(\\mathbb Q).<br>$$<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Available Document<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>DOI:<\/strong> <code>10.5281\/zenodo.20731232<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Citation:<\/strong><br>Petersen, B.
