# C802 — Extend the residual path through Jacob’s last17 years

## Question

Can a retained terminal interval coexist with different total lifespans?

## Inputs

```json
{}
```

## Sources

```json
[
  "File20 surface Jacob death2188AM; C799"
]
```

## Results

```json
{
  "reconstructed_death_AM_generated": 2183,
  "reconstructed_death_BC_generated": 1674,
  "surface_death_AM": 2188,
  "entry_to_death": [
    17,
    17
  ],
  "birth_to_death": [
    147,
    142
  ],
  "death_AM_offset": 5
}
```

## Finding

Entry and generated death both move+5 AM, preserving the final17 years. The literal surface birth/death pair gives142 against the stated147; the retained ending does not resolve that source tension.

## Reassessment

Refine the biological and sacrifice/death paths on a common ordered set of nodes.

## Checks

```json
{
  "terminal17": true,
  "surface142": true,
  "offset5": true
}
```
