# C329 independent named-binding review

24 September 2026. Only two explicitly named bindings are compared: G2 Noah/Flood with G2 Shem, and G2 Noah/Flood with G1 Shem. Noah birth, Noah death and Flood start retain their G2 records; both Shem endpoints are taken directly from G2 or G1 in frozen C322. The second selection is a mixed source binding, **not a coherent single-Gear biography**.

**Result:** the same-role SP→MT difference stays460 in both bindings. The two140 residuals and Noah's490 residual survive. The birth/death-family40 residuals become42, and640 becomes642. Thus Noah490 is stable under this particular Shem-binding change, while its MT-context dependence established in C328 remains.

| Binding | SP OFF/Terah0/full430: Noah, Shem, Flood, Noah death, Shem death | MT restoredON/Terah60/full430 |
|---|---|---|
|Noah-bound500/100; Shem G2|3708,3208,3108,2758,2608|3248,2748,2648,2298,2148|
|Arphaxad-bound502/98; Shem G1|3708,3206,3108,2758,2606|3248,2746,2648,2298,2146|

The respective adjacent spans are500,100,350,150 and502,98,350,152. Both retain Noah950, Shem600 and Noah→Flood600. These named modal bindings do not correct or erase each other.

## Complete residual comparison

Each binding contains all25 ordered role comparisons with `r=d−460`. Each has six positive and19 negative cases; neither has a zero residual.

| Source interval A→C | d:500/100 binding | r:500/100 binding | d:502/98 binding | r:502/98 binding |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
|Noah birth→Shem birth|500|40|502|42|
|Noah birth→Flood start|600|140|600|140|
|Noah birth→Noah death|950|490|950|490|
|Noah birth→Shem death|1100|640|1102|642|
|Shem birth→Shem death|600|140|600|140|
|Flood start→Shem death|500|40|502|42|

Across all25 role pairs,13 residuals are unchanged, six rise by2 and six fall by2. This follows from the selected source records: both Shem endpoints move−2 in each tradition while all other endpoints stay fixed. For anchor A and terminal C, the residual change is `−2·I(A is Shem)+2·I(C is Shem)`. Every residual sign is preserved. The full negative and equal-role cases remain in the JSON; no role pair is omitted to obtain the positive table.

## Four corners and phases

Completing the Noah-birth→Shem-birth and Flood-start→Shem-death families with the actual MT terminal gives:

| Binding | Two interval widths | Ordered four-point gaps | Overlap | Outer width |
|---|---|---|---:|---:|
|500/100|500,500|460,40,460|40|960|
|502/98|502,502|460,42,460|42|962|

All four configurations use existing source endpoints. Their two like-phase components preserve these respective shapes. The502 field does not retain a literal500 interval or40 remainder under a different allowed quarter-phase choice: the complete alternate-binding phase census contains neither equality.

All400 independent phase triples were tested:25 role pairs×2 bindings×8 choices. Exactly100 preserve their annual460 leg, source duration and residual;24 of these are positive. Each binding contributes50 exact partitions,12 positive. The complete condition is the same in both modes: all three physical output offsets must agree. Source Gear identities remain explicit, and matching output phases are not a claim of common cumulative ancestry.

The results distinguish two kinds of dependence. The490 remainder uses unchanged Noah endpoints, so it survives the named Shem alternative. The40 remainder uses one of the shifted Shem endpoints, so it changes to42. Neither stability nor change supplies a new context selector, expansion prescription or independent historical witness.

## Reproduction

`C329_Independent_Audit.py --sources DIR --out DIR` uses Python's standard library and frozen `C322_DATA.json`. Its JSON retains all50 annual rows, all400 phase rows, all source-record identities, all25 binding sensitivities and four completed source configurations. **106 checks passed.** The script, results and review are frozen for handoff. No new endpoint, context, phase, expansion, fitted anchor or C330 calculation is introduced; standing Mirror and source-binding controls remain unchanged.
