3489 — A Seam Green Current Is a Boundary-Metric Mismatch
A smooth common seam state can retain a Green boundary current when the two chart boundary forms pull back differently to the common trace range.
The residual is the metric difference
It vanishes exactly when the interconnection is power-conserving. Its rank is the minimal number of independent complex seam channels. A nonzero mismatch on a one-dimensional trace therefore gives exactly one complex seam line.
The theta source germ is smooth, so its remaining primitive seam current must be sought in this chart-metric, Clark, normalization, cut-boundary, or arithmetic layer—not in state discontinuity.
