# 490d Mirror checkpoint after C283

24 September 2026. Latest completed: **C283 — The complete retained state cube.**

Widths are598+460(s−f),8395+460(f−r),8993+460(s−r). All48 rows remain23-divisible. The all-K split uniquely selects ON Shem / OFF Flood / restored MT Flood, giving1058+7935=8993. Four state patterns have17K totals, so total alone is insufficient.

## Standing context

C276: the selected cross-index alignment fixes δ=h−f=598; source transport alone does not. Absolute placement remains a separate premise. Preserve source and map roles, annual indices and ±1/4 phase ancestry. Co-located images do not identify events.

K=529; E=25/23; P=70/69. Global Mirror January AD 1; established local junction x=1, January AD 2; no civil year zero. Regular Gears Noah/Shem/Flood only. No cumulative/upstream Gears, primer reopening, canonical/graph changes or new global axis/z-law. Capture now, canonize later.

Supplement: LXX Creation 5494 BC +8464→AD 2970 versus reflected Conquest AD 1406 gives1564→1700 by25/23; Jared4534→AD3930 versus reflected Exodus1446 gives2484→2700. LXX Creation→Jared960, MT460; offsets1380/880; difference920→1000. AD3746/2300 superseded. Awareness only.

C-series reports remain distinct from original unprefixed Reports01–10 and unestablished interrupted Reports11–25. The superseded AD1905–1911 lookup remains unexecuted.

## Verification

98 mathematical/domain checks and 8 source authentication checks passed; two generated readouts replay byte identically. Author review only. File_18, File_09, C265 certificate and C127 unchanged; graph208 nodes/382 duration edges.

## Best next bounded step

C284: release the shared-index pairing and classify all independent cumulative annual indices against the same six Flood endpoints and two profiles.

Reason for selecting it after C283: The current uniqueness is conditional on j−2; the next finite test asks whether K divisibility itself recovers that selector relation within the held fields.

High is sufficient unless a later dependency requires reassessment. The next step was not executed as part of C283. The authorized batch continues through C310.
