Abstract: We show that by working over the absolute base $mathbbS$ (the categorical version of the sphere spectrum) instead of $mathbbS[pm1]$ improves our previous Riemann-Roch formula for $overlinemSpec,mathbbZ$. The formula equates the (integer-valued) Euler characteristic of an Arakelov divisor with the sum of the degree of the divisor (using logarithms with base 2) and the number $1$, thus confirming the understanding of the ring $mathbbZ$ as a ring of polynomials in one variable over the absolute base $mathbbS$, namely $mathbbS[X],1+1=X+X^2$.
