The Residue-Tree Terminal Shell Converges to a Nonzero Corona Boundary

The local residue state group is

$$A_p=\mathbb Q_p/\mathbb Z_p, \qquad \widehat A_p=\mathbb Z_p.$$

Finite residue states and finite-conductor observables have the canonical Pontryagin pairing. For $r_k=p^{-k}$, the coset states $e_{r_k}=1_{r_k+\mathbb Z_p}$ have norm one and converge weakly, but not strongly, to zero.

The terminal difference shell therefore satisfies

$$\|\Delta_{r_k}e_0\|_2^2=2, \qquad \Delta_{r_k}e_0=e_{r_k}-e_0\rightharpoonup-e_0.$$

Thus the inductive residue tree and its Fourier-dual observables pair nondegenerately at every finite level, but dilation is not uniformly observable. Finite-cutoff telescoping leaves a nonzero unramified corona boundary. A vanishing-flux Green theorem requires an independently sourced reciprocal or archimedean cancellation of this common mode.
