# C292 author review

Question: Is16K the only translation making the four source positions equally spaced?

Conclusion: Equal spacing has exactly four translations13K,16K,18K,21K;16K is one of two interlacing orientations.

The exact results were inspected against the source register and independently expressed domain identities in the checker. The second run verifies deterministic reproduction, not independent scientific review. No new agent review is claimed.

Limits:

- Equal spacing alone does not select16K uniquely.
- A repeated13K scalar does not identify different source paths.
- No diagnostic bridge or row-dependent center is adopted.

The report and checkpoint are authored interpretations. The verifier authenticates the supplied inputs and calculations; it does not prove historical intentionality. Original dependencies and all standing controls remain unchanged.
