# C838 — Separate ledger selection from scale

## Question

How do ritual disposition and shemitah scale interact with the finite overlay?

## Inputs

```json
{}
```

## Sources

```json
[
  "File58 §§4.3,5"
]
```

## Results

```json
{
  "complete_rite": 5,
  "slaughtered_subset": 4,
  "scaled_states": {
    "00": 1960,
    "01": 1995,
    "10": 1974,
    "11": 2009
  },
  "scaled_calendar_increment": 14,
  "scaled_complete_rite_increment": 35,
  "derived_slaughtered_totals": [
    284,
    286
  ]
}
```

## Finding

Selecting displayed ritual animals or slaughtered animals changes the measured object by one goat. Scaling then carries that difference to seven; it cannot be suppressed by retaining the same ledger name.

## Reassessment

Regenerate every forward festival boundary from its day generator.

## Checks

```json
{
  "rite_difference": true,
  "scaled_source": true,
  "linear_overlays": true
}
```
