C1141 — Recover the Methuselah baseline from its source death relation

Question

Can a retained MT/LXX local birth chain account for the lifespan discarded by SP clipping?

Inputs

{
  "MT_Methuselah_begetting": 187,
  "MT_Lamech_begetting": 182,
  "Noah_to_Flood": 600
}

  "life": 969,
  "discarded_excess": 249
}

Finding

The supplied MT/LXX death-at-Flood condition recovers969 from187,182 and600, hence the249 excess above SP720. This connects traditions through a local condition while retaining its three source inputs.

Reassessment

Derive the249 difference directly from the two begetting changes and the inclusive convention.
