C679 — Resolve the1470 versus1475 closure

Question

Why do the source’s scalar and coordinate closures differ by five?

Results

{
  "scalar_total": 1470,
  "coordinate_half_width": "1475/2",
  "coordinate_endpoints": [
    "7217/2",

}

Finding

P converts the scalar724.5 arm to735, giving1470. The coordinate construction instead starts13 away from center before adding724.5, giving737.5 per side and1475 overall. The five-year difference is fully accounted for by different constructions.

Reassessment

Reconstruct the exterior-core opening of the ten-node ladder.
