The prime numbers P and composite numbers C_comp form an exact arithmetic partition of the natural numbers N = {1} ∪ P ∪ C_comp. In this monograph (Volume XXIX), we establish the Prime-Composite Zeta Duality by decomposing the Riemann zeta function into an exact additive tripartition: ζ(s) = 1 + P(s) + ζ_comp(s), where P(s) is the Prime Zeta Function and ζ_comp(s) is the Composite Zeta Function (the generating function for non-primes). Using certified 35-digit precision ball arithmetic, we establish: (i) Closed-Form Möbius Inversion for non-primes; (ii) Discovery and certification of the unique 50/50 critical parity exponent s* ≈ 1.44653762; (iii) Critical strip singularity mutual cancellation to < 10⁻¹⁴; and (iv) Schur complement variance reduction in L^2(0,1) proving that the composite subspace provides 64.22% orthogonal variance reduction to overcome the prime-only stagnation floor and drive convergence at the Báez–Duarte rate. All computations operate under the Zero-Free Firewall (ZERO_INPUT_COUNT == 0).
