This span of tissue inside (within the wound) the perimeter of the callus, not living tissue as we know it........already breached by successions of opportunistic decay causing orgs.......and contained inwardly by wall#2 (twds the center of the stem) (if a tree is injured it is infected)

....this span, what protects new cell growth and annual growth of woundwood on this span from these pathogens already inhabiting the inner aspect of the stem?

What I see is wall 4 within the perimeter of callus is entirely chemical and formed at the time of trauma.

"The discolored heartwood acts as a defense boundary. Protection boundaries are static and formed after injury and infection. Defense boundaries are dynamic and formed after injury and infection. Heartwood does compartmentalize." Shigo

Maybe we are saying the same thing but your term "grows" the wall, I am not clear on.
