C96 — N04’s27-year alignment is the original Levi–Joseph lifespan difference
22 September 2026 · Step 4 of the authorized ten-step Mirror continuation (C93–C102).
The two ordinary-to-apparent base alignments are now source-to-source comparisons, but their right endpoints have different meanings:
| Branch | Ordinary midpoint source | Apparent-base source | Both endpoint shifts |
|---|---|---|---|
| N02 | 1929: fixed regular MT Jacob call / flight to Haran | 1904: original Joseph closing | -25 |
| N04 | 1931: cumulative MT Levi envelope member | 1904: original Joseph closing | -27 |
For N04, the 27 difference is internal to the original cumulative portion. The three closing members are
Each is the−2 envelope member relative to its Moses coordinate. Thus the N04 named midpoint and new apparent-base Joseph endpoint use a matched source-member relation. This differs from C87's comparison between N04's Joseph 1908, aligned Levi 1935, and midpoint Levi 1931: the earlier distinction remains intact.
For N02, the 25 difference compares fixed Jacob-Haran 1929 with the derived Joseph closing 1904. It is a cross-record interval, not the same Levi/Joseph lifespan contrast.
The source-endpoint shifts agree with the respective Creation-member differences−25 and−27, preserving 6348. The two descriptions are related interval placements. They do not define a new apparent-age operator, move Jacob or Levi by regular Gears, or supply independent calibrations of 529.
Validation. 8 exact arithmetic/structural checks passed. The 20 frozen dependencies passed hash verification; all three generated outputs replayed byte for byte in isolation, and the original dependencies remained unchanged. This step reads completed certificates and does not execute their campaigns.
Scope and provenance. Controlling File_18 and File_09 remain unchanged. Regular Gears apply only to Noah/Shem/Flood; SP person companions only to Noah/Shem. Creation and Conquest fields remain fixed. Native LXX ON, explicitly derived OFF, independent Flood start/close, and paired suffix inversion at January AD 1 remain in force. No civil year zero, upstream Gear transport, primers, Rounded campaign, or localized −33 is introduced. These are new continuation reports, not recovered historical Reports 11–25. Evidence is conditional on the supplied project model, not a proof of literary intention or independent historical dating.
Source locators. File_09 §3 and Appendix A (paired Mirror and exact phase); File_18 §§2.1.3, 2.4, 3.1 and 6/6A (regular fields and cumulative collateral source); File_61 §§3.3–3.4, 11.1–11.4 and 14.3 (fixed Jacob events, original Joseph portion and its 500-year Conquest comparison); File_62 collateral-scope guards; C01/C05 retained endpoint and apparent-field results; frozen C15/C43/C65/C67/C68/C74–C76/C86/C89/C92 dependencies (source, phase and family controls). The declared phase model does not infer an unstated birthday or event month from an annual source row.
Best next bounded step — High sufficient. Use the new 6348 source interval to qualify C05’s previously conditional 529+23 first-stage triangle.
