Signed boundary of a thin-time stack #
A thin stack is a disjoint union of unrefined staircase prisms whose geometric copies meet along
successive time slices. This file proves its pointwise signed boundary formula without classifying
all quotient facets. For one quotient facet s, pull its characteristic function back to every
slab and apply the arbitrary prime-invariant weighted boundary theorem for the ordinary staircase
prism. The upper endpoint term of slab r is literally the lower endpoint term of slab r+1, so
the finite sum telescopes. Only time zero and time one remain.
