reaasures me that my working formula is indeed the correct
one for the whole complex plane. And I am starting to see how
each computational chunk of it would need a lot of work to see
what is going on.
Looking at the uses of s at either end, they behave in opposition
for both s greater than 1 - the Euler zeta for reals - and for s between
0 and 1, thus fractions and possibly complex expressions. This reflects
Riemanns multiplication of the old zeta with the gamma functions
to form his new zeta. (Is this a troll from the 19th century!?)
* * *
Not really complicated numerically, the first term is worth 2
for s at 2, and -5/2 for s at .5. It is a constant which can be
considered at each turn of fraction summation conceptually, but
stated outside as a mathematical simplification.
The last term referencing s - as a funtion of k - is not a constant,
and will have a different effect with the different number of
iterations we ask for.
It is the work of the first term that shows the zeta is undefined
at 1.

Of more immediate concern, my transcription of the formula on
the (very useful) Desmos. It is clear that the fractions summation -
if we are careful about the zero value - goes to 1. And one is
tempted to dismiss the expression. THAT WOULD BE A SERIOUS
MISTAKE! In point of fact, it is never 1. And since we are looking
for zero coincidences...
The (-1) oscillation produces some zero factors, in its sums.
The binomial expression plays out entirely as a function the
n value we assign.
