contents We present a non-perturbative formulation of renormalization by viewing the regularized Schwinger-Dyson hierarchy as a meromorphic connection, that is, as a D-module on the product of spacetime with the regulator disc. The irregular Riemann-Hilbert correspondence splits this connection into a purely formal submodule that contains every ultraviolet pole and a holomorphic submodule that is finite at the regulator origin. In this setting, counterterms coincide with the formal Stokes data, the renormalized theory is identified with the analytic submodule, and the Callan-Symanzik flow appears as an isomonodromic deformation in the physical scale. Viewed through this lens, the Connes-Kreimer construction with its graph Hopf algebra, Bogoliubov recursion, and Birkhoff factorisation is simply the perturbative shadow cast by the global geometric decomposition of the full Schwinger-Dyson system.
