contents We study the fluctuations of logarithmic Green singularities in the spherical ensemble, viewed as a random discretization of the two-sphere. Smooth observables exhibit the usual Sobolev or Gaussian free field fluctuations, whereas logarithmic singularities live on a larger logarithmic scale and asymptotically decouple in high-dimension, producing an explicit white-noise limit. The result gives precise asymptotics for logarithmic potentials and characteristic polynomials, with constants expressed through chordal geometry on the sphere.
