# C798 — Keep the reflection and deletion constructions distinct

## Question

Does substituting the expunged Flood preserve the displayed reflection?

## Inputs

```json
{}
```

## Sources

```json
[
  "File53 §3A.2 versus §3A.4"
]
```

## Results

```json
{
  "comparison_Flood": 2549,
  "expunged_ledger_Flood": 2492,
  "diagnostic_missing_mirrors": [
    2549,
    2706
  ],
  "state_rule": "Do not transfer a node from one comparison object into the other."
}
```

## Finding

Replacing only the original Flood with the expunged Flood breaks closure. The positive reflection is preserved by respecting the source comparison roles, not by declaring the entire compressed chronology symmetric.

## Reassessment

Reconstruct the whole biological and surface BJ spine.

## Checks

```json
{
  "source_states_differ": true,
  "no_false_closure": true
}
```
