contents I report an infinite family of approximate conservation laws for two-dimensional point vortex dynamics. For any smooth function f, the pairwise-weighted quantity Q_f = Σ Γ_i Γ_j f(r_ij) is approximately conserved during Kirchhoff evolution. Two members reduce to known exact invariants (energy and angular impulse); the remaining members are new. The optimal non-trivial member is f(r) = √r, with fractional variance 3×10⁻¹¹. In 3D vortex filament dynamics, Q_{1/r} achieves the best conservation. Both optimal choices are Green's functions of the Laplacian, and both equal the kinetic energy up to constants. The family exhibits a dichotomy between concentration-detecting and stretch-resistant members relevant to Navier-Stokes regularity. Higher-order (triplet) generalizations do not exist, confirming the pairwise structure is special.
