# C289 author review

Question: Does the new source normal form determine the local map placement?

Conclusion: The lifted local maps have constants10K,12K,7K,5K at baseline, but all source/image relations retain a free common translation u.

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:

- Pure-K constants restate the retained placement rather than independently requiring it.
- A congruence does not choose the common translation uniquely.
- Missing Noah source identities remain missing.

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.
