# 490d Mirror checkpoint after C298

24 September 2026. Latest completed: **C298 — The six-year weave completes Flood coverage.**

MT ON indices4–7 giveG3/G2 start-close; LXX OFF indices0–3 giveG2/G1. Shared5290/5289 have profile indices differing6. Regular gaps5998–6003 now all covered underC−B=2832. Source labels remain separate despite co-location.

## 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 AD3746/2300 superseded.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 The superseded AD1905–1911 lookup remains unexecuted.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

6 mathematical/domain checks and 7 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

C299: lift Flood-start matches through the source600 relations to regular Noah birth and cumulative Shem, preserving role and companion restrictions.

Reason for selecting it after C298: The matched Flood starts supply an existing600-year extension on both sides; testing it determines whether the comparison preserves a complete segment, not just endpoints.

High is sufficient unless a later dependency requires reassessment. The next step was not executed as part of C298. The authorized batch continues through C310.
