Step 4 of 25, C445–C469.\n\nThe reflection graph has one ordinary simple cycle, 2610→3766→2730→3770→2610, through centers3188,3248,3250,3190. Its four-reflection affine word is the identity because3188+3250=3248+3190. The other four cycles are single-center fixed-point loops, not identity maps.\n\nDeleting immediate edge reversals, the entire graph has only this one nontrivial undirected cycle. Its component also includes2606 and2734 as attached branches. The cycle rank including loops is106−373+272=5, accounted for by one ordinary cycle and four fixed loops.\n\nSuccessive substitution gives slope+1 and intercept2(3190−3250+3248−3188)=0. Thus the formula is an identity on the number line. Its sourced implementation still requires all four intermediate coordinates; the formula alone supplies no missing records.\n\nIn contrast, a one-letter return at3188,3190,3248 or3250 has slope−1 and intercept twice its center. It fixes only its own center. The graph’s many two-letter reversals similarly do not create new endpoints.\n\nThe cycle contains source coordinates with different roles and contexts. Their exact identities and the finite admitted domain of the four-center identity are the next necessary checks before interpreting this return.\n\n## Verification and scope\n\n2 calculation checks and 20 source/predecessor authentication checks passed. Main result files replay byte for byte. These are root-agent checks, not an independent-agent review or independent historical witnesses.\n\nNo new reflection center was fitted. An identity word is a composition formula, not evidence of a chronological cycle or historical design intent.\n\nMirror/529 focus: K=529, E=25/23, P=70/69; J=300/299 remains File02 gap conversion, not a calendar date operator or Residue Protocol. Regular Gears are Noah/Shem/Flood only. SP person companions are local to Noah/Shem; Flood close is an independent event boundary. Both500/100 and502/98 bindings remain valid; SP primary Noah death retains its inclusive/harmonic qualification. LXX native Cainan is ON; OFF is theoretical removal. Global paired Mirror January AD1; local junction January AD2; no civil year zero. No new source point, phase, fitted axis, upstream/cumulative Gear, primer reopening or canonical/graph edit. Capture now; canonize later. Coordinates, source labels, context aliases and derived comparisons remain distinct. Counts are not independent historical witnesses.\n\n## Best next bounded step\n\n**C449, proposed and unexecuted:** Census all 24 orders using each fixed center once on all 373 inputs, and resolve the source labels and context changes of every complete four-letter return.\n\nThe cycle identity is algebraically exact. A full permutation/input census and source-label resolution will show how narrowly it is realized and prevent a numerical return from being described as one historical chronology.\n", "evidenceLinks": [{"id": "d-24203a4c3b282f9b", "title": "File 02"}]}
