Weak logarithmic zero-free region for the Riemann zeta function ($|1/\zeta (\sigma +it)|\ll {\log }^7(|t|+2),\sigma \ge 1-c/{\log }^9(|t|+2)$)

The logarithm of the Euler product and $3+4\cos \theta +\cos 2\theta \ge 0$ give $\zeta (\sigma {)}^3|\zeta (\sigma +it){|}^4|\zeta (\sigma +2it)|\ge 1$. At $\sigma =1+a/{\log }^9|t|$, upper bounds $\zeta (\sigma )\ll {\log }^9|t|/a$ and $|\zeta (\sigma +2it)|\ll \log |t|$ imply the lower bound $|\zeta |\gg a^{3/4}{\log }^{-7}|t|$. The Cauchy estimate for derivatives gives $|{\zeta }^{\prime }|\ll {\log }^2|t|$ nearby, allowing a sufficiently small leftward displacement of order ${\log }^{-9}|t|$. This elementary region is weaker than the classical logarithmic region but gives an explicit reciprocal bound by simple estimates.
