The H1 Tail–Seam Cut Is an Exact Isometric Correspondence

The boundary-bearing completion suggested by Mellin–Parseval has an exact realization. For (f\in H^1(0,\infty)), define

$$C_Lf=\left(f(\,\cdot+L),f|_{[0,L]}\right).$$

Splitting the integrals of (|f|^2) and (|f'|^2) at (L) proves

$$\|f\|_{H^1(0,\infty)}^2 = \|f(\,\cdot+L)\|_{H^1(0,\infty)}^2 + \|f|_{[0,L]}\|_{H^1(0,L)}^2.$$

The image is the closed incidence subspace where the terminal seam trace equals the initial translated-tail trace. Successive cuts concatenate their seam intervals canonically, so prime resegmentation coherence is simply associativity of interval cutting.

At infinite cutoff, translated-tail energy tends to zero while expanding-seam energy tends to the full source norm. No state or energy disappears. This repairs the earlier completion witness without reconstructing the seam from the tail or fitting a new weight.

The theorem closes completion stability for the translation skeleton, not yet for the full theta/Pearson system. The next calculation is the commutator between this cut correspondence and the Pearson/Clark differential operator. A pure interface distribution is expected; any bulk residual is a genuine obstruction.
