# C973 — Separate cap and post-Flood contributions

## Question

How much of the known SP–MT total difference does the cap explain?

## Inputs

```json
{
  "cap": -488,
  "Eber": -60,
  "official_Terah145_vs205": -60
}
```

## Sources

```json
[
  "C972",
  "C733–C788"
]
```

## Results

```json
{
  "contribution_ledger": {
    "cap": -488,
    "Eber": -60,
    "official_Terah145_vs205": -60
  },
  "total": -608,
  "status": "dependent synthesis of previously established total"
}
```

## Finding

The cap supplies−488 of the established−608 cumulative difference; Eber and official Terah supply the remaining−120. These are distinct source mechanisms.

## Reassessment

Derive how regular-row changes could pass through the cap into cumulative coordinates.

## Checks

```json
{
  "total": true,
  "official_Terah_retained": true
}
```
