### The weighting and continuation have distinct causes

The common 12026 BC endpoint connects two different measurements of the Creation paths. The regular component total increases from 2700 to 10620 under its one-pass reversal, a gain of 7920. The cumulative total decreases from 12600 to 10620, a loss of 1980. Their ratio is 4:1. Consequently the common endpoint equals (4C+R)/5, where C and R are the cumulative and regular Creation dates.

The selected Rounded-to-Actual displacement gives the same weight from another direction: cumulative −2 and regular +8 require a cumulative coefficient 4/5 for conservation. Once the source values and operations are fixed, these matching coefficients express their compatibility. The weight is a derived relation, so repeating it in another formula does not supply an additional independent premise.

The continuation to 14726 BC requires its own stated source leg. Conquest 1406 and Nativity 6 define an original 1400-year interval; one reversal gives 4100. Changing the held anchor from 1406 to 6 and adding that transformed leg shifts the earlier endpoint by 4100−1400=2700. Thus 12026 becomes 14726.

The shift happens to equal the regular Creation-to-Conquest total. Its justification nevertheless remains the Conquest-to-Nativity leg and its declared operation. Retaining Nativity 6, the original 1400 interval, and the anchor change makes the continuation reproducible while preserving the distinct roles of the two 2700 quantities.
