# 490d Mirror checkpoint after C362

24 September 2026. **C362 complete; C363 unexecuted.** 1 steps remain in the current authorization. Read this checkpoint and report first; frozen predecessor records retain earlier findings. Current decisions override stale archive instructions. Do not repeat completed research.

## Current result

The Shem-held squared-E comparison passes02/22 at i3/i5 only. Flood-close−500 cannot create an MT companion death. Matching inherited offsets pass4/16 squared-E and4/64 joined-map controls; one physical-time map distorts the source pairs.



## Retained context

C353 adds the primary458+600=1058 paired source realization with original2K/17K outer endpoints unchanged, the598→650 SP/MT Shem image under E, and bounded partial relations.600 output alone leaves nine primary controls; both598 inputs select22 conditionally. Whole-affine gap conversion is not biography or seasonal-component transport. C343 is the preceding synthesis. The primary Noah-held source ladder1058→1150→1250 under E=25/23 has refinement460+490+108+92+100. Companion actual MT Shem gives1149 and the valid502/98 mode gives1152; both retain double-E outer endpoints. C341 distinguishes component-preserving comparisons from one physical-time affine dilation or a biography-preserving map. C334 shared Shem±2 origin is explicit, but exact cumulative/regular endpoint coupling is unestablished in reviewed passages. C342 full regular ladder leaves C319 controls02 and22 at i3/i5; separate17K selects22. C287 full SP domaini2…5 remains; C319 is onlyi3…7. C314 reversal requiresi+j=10 with opposite cumulative ancestry phase; C323 conditionali=j5 uses its extra support requirements. SP primary death retains inclusive/harmonic qualification; matched lifespan950 remains. Source500/100 and502/98 bindings are valid alternatives. Scalar/C89 prior art remains distinct from the Noah-held endpoint realization. Corrected LXX8464 supplement is awareness only:1564→1700,2484→2700,920→1000; AD3746/2300 superseded. Earlier incompleteSeptember17 ZIP differs from the later verified intact original. Original unprefixed reports, Engine reports and C-series remain distinct. No independent witness or source-prescribed selector is inferred from repeated coordinates.

Mirror/529 focus: K=529, E=25/23, P=70/69. Global paired Mirror January AD1; local junction January AD2; no civil year zero. Regular Gears are Noah/Shem/Flood only. SP minus-one person companions remain local to SP Noah/Shem; Flood close is a separate boundary. No upstream/cumulative Gear, new endpoint or phase, fitted anchor, global axis, primer reopening, canonical or graph edit. Capture now; canonize later. Source identity, context, modal binding, generated coordinates and phase ancestry stay distinct.

## Verification

152 main checks and 17 frozen-input/predecessor authentication checks passed. A second main replay produced byte-identical DATA/RESULTS. These checks and the source interpretation were performed by the root agent; no new independent-agent review is claimed. All frozen originals and standing controls remain unchanged. Verification counts are not independent-witness counts.

## Best next bounded step

C363: Synthesize C354–C362, independently reimplement the central arithmetic and source joins within the root process, replay the sealed packets, and publish C363 plus complete recovery files. Choose a subsequent question only after this synthesis; do not execute it.

Nine completed bounded results now connect the Shem source lifespan with the529/E structure and delimit the selector and phase claims. Consolidation and an alternate calculation are the necessary final step of this ten-step authorization.

Continue within the authorized batch, reassessing after the next completed result.
