Motivated by work of Kucharczyk and Scholze, we use sheafified rational Witt vectors to attach a new ringed space Wrat (X) to every scheme X. We also define R-valued points Wrat (X) (R) of Wrat (X) for every commutative ring R. For normal schemes X of finite type over spec ℤ, using Wrat (X) (ℂ) we construct infinite dimensional ℝ-dynamical systems whose periodic orbits are related to the closed points of X. Various aspects of these topological dynamical systems are studied. We also explain how certain p-adic points of Wrat (X) for X the spectrum of a p-adic local number ring are related to the points of the Fargues-Fontaine curve. The new intrinsic construction of the dynamical systems generalizes and clarifies the original extrinsic construction in v.1 and v.2. Many further results have been added.
