The Regular kernel has two generators
The first generator is the located sequence of row changes. In the matched Cainan-OFF comparison, the complete MT/LXX Regular difference from Adam through Abraham is
The steps record source changes at particular names. Six pre-Flood century changes account for the 600 difference between the Creation level 1250 and Noah level 650. Native Cainan adds 130 from Arphaxad upstream, retaining the native 1380/780 levels separately.
The second generator is the finite field of source variants. Let the Terah difference be , Cainan’s Regular interval , and the separately sourced Sojourn choice . Their eight combinations give:
| Choice | Offset |
|---|---|
| Base | 0 |
| T | 60 |
| C | 130 |
| T+C | 190 |
| S | 215 |
| T+S | 275 |
| C+S | 345 |
| T+C+S | 405 |
The consecutive gaps are . The 70 and 25 are differences between combinations; they are not additional switches.
These structures meet in the Strategy’s fivefold formulas:
The row mechanism gives and , where the observed century is . Requiring the fivefold form yields and . Thus the coefficient five expresses a calibration between two source mechanisms. It does not itself generate the patriarchal ages.
SP supplies a further located comparison. Its post-Flood birth additions total 650; its pre-Flood shortening is in the completed-year comparison, leaving 300. The Lamech contribution retains its nominal 129 plus the one-year boundary completion, counted once. These locations explain more than the identity : the latter is a useful description of the resulting pair, while the row model explains its construction.
