The Local Valuation Complex Has One Augmentation Boundary

For the valuation shift $S_pe_k=e_{k+1}$, the discrete differential

$$\Delta_p=I-S_p$$

fits into the exact sequence

$$0\longrightarrow c_{00}(\mathbb N_0) \xrightarrow{\Delta_p}c_{00}(\mathbb N_0) \xrightarrow{\varepsilon}\mathbb C \longrightarrow0,$$

where $\varepsilon$ is coefficient augmentation. After character twisting,

$$d_{p,s}=I-p^{-s}S_p$$

sends the geometric local vacuum to the endpoint and has the explicit shift- resolvent inverse for $\Re s>0$. The reciprocal contraction exists for $\Re s<1$.

Thus every individual finite prime is contractible throughout the critical strip. The primitive current is its augmentation boundary, and any unpaired state must be created irreducibly by infinite restricted-product completion.
