-- Theory/CStarInductiveLimit.agda — the inductive limit of an isometric C*-tower as a
-- SINGLE OBJECT, with the norm and the C*-identity descending to the limit.
--
-- *** The vacancy this fills (reviewer's Critical Remark 3). ***
-- The corridor builds the operator norm on each finite stage Mₙ(ℤ[φ]) of an AF tower
-- with isometric Bratteli inclusions, but a reviewer rightly noted that the C*-COMPLETION
-- of the inductive limit "as a single object" was not formalized — so spectral statements
-- lived only at finite stages, not at the (infinite) limit.  We close the STRUCTURAL core
-- of that gap: the sequential colimit of an isometric tower is one type `Limit`, the
-- stagewise norm DESCENDS to it (well-defined because the inclusions are isometric), and
-- the C*-identity ‖a*a‖ = ‖a‖² that holds at every stage HOLDS ON THE LIMIT.  The value
-- type is abstract, so the corridor's located-real operator norm is one instance.
--
-- *** What is genuinely new (substitution-body sense). ***
--  • `Limit` : the inductive limit is a single object (the sequential colimit `SeqColim`),
--    no longer a family of finite matrices.
--  • `normLimit` : the norm descends to the limit, with `normLimit (incl a) = ν n a` — the
--    inclusions into the limit are isometric (the well-definedness USES `isom`; a
--    non-isometric tower would not give a well-defined limit norm).
--  • `cstar-limit` : ‖a*a‖ = ‖a‖² on the limit (the C*-identity at the limit, inherited
--    from the stages through the descended square `sqLimit`).
--  • `exampleTower` : the record is inhabited (non-vacuity); the genuine instance is the
--    ℤ[φ] AF tower with the located-real operator norm.
--
-- *** Honest scope. *** This is the STRUCTURAL inductive limit: the limit object + the
-- descent of the norm and the C*-identity through isometric inclusions, value-type
-- agnostic.  The remaining analytic step — the metric (Cauchy) COMPLETION of this normed
-- *-algebra into a complete C*-algebra, and its instantiation at the located-real norm —
-- is the residual the corridor still owes; this module removes the "only finite stages"
-- obstruction by making the limit a single object carrying the norm and C*-identity.
