# 490d Mirror checkpoint after C297

24 September 2026. Latest completed: **C297 — The6000 comparison across16K and24K.**

Regular16K-to-Q6 equals cumulative24K-to-Q1406 iffC−B=2832. MT ON indices4/5/6/7 giveG3start/close,G2start/close and gaps5998/5999/6000/6001. G1 requires5288/5287, outside the MT ON field. Reflected-anchor and phase roles retained.

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 AD3746/2300 superseded.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 The superseded AD1905–1911 lookup remains unexecuted.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

13 mathematical/domain checks and 8 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

C298: apply the same comparison to the existing LXX OFF and SP OFF cumulative Flood fields, with no anchor changes.

Reason for selecting it after C297: The missing MT requirements5288/5287 lie near the retained LXX OFF field; the known six-year offset can be tested as a source-qualified coverage relation.

High is sufficient unless a later dependency requires reassessment. The next step was not executed as part of C297. The authorized batch continues through C310.
