2730 — No Local L2 Metric Identifies Source Forcing with Endpoint Readout

The feedback control and observation ports are

$$bc=cf, \qquad \ell(G)=G(0).$$

In a local weighted (L^2) metric, equality $\ell=b^*$ would require

$$w\overline f=\delta_0$$

as distributions. This is impossible for an ordinary positive weight and the smooth theta source. A Sobolev graph metric can represent endpoint evaluation, but its Riesz vector is the boundary Green kernel of the independently chosen graph operator. Choosing that operator afterward to make (f) the Green kernel would fit the bridge.

Interior source forcing and endpoint observation must therefore remain separately typed. The present feedback Schur construction is rejected until a source-derived boundary triple relates them.
