A character with a prescribed half-turn value #
The local fusion starts from a character taking a chosen nonzero element to the half-turn of the circle. Torsion-freeness makes this one-point prescription compatible with every integer relation, and divisibility of the circle extends it to the ambient group.

Every nonzero element of a torsion-free Abelian group can be sent exactly to 1/2 in the
unit additive circle.
