# C976 — Admitted frame covariance

## Question

Does the +215 comparison frame preserve every cap?

## Inputs

```json
{
  "whole_frame_shift": 215
}
```

## Sources

```json
[
  "C954",
  "C955",
  "File18 §3.1 native/full430 comparison"
]
```

## Results

```json
{
  "shifted_Flood_start": 3108,
  "shifted_births": [
    4414,
    4284,
    4179,
    4089,
    4019,
    3954,
    3892,
    3827,
    3760
  ],
  "unchanged_capacities": [
    1307,
    1177,
    1072,
    982,
    912,
    847,
    785,
    720,
    653
  ]
}
```

## Finding

The admitted+215 whole-frame comparison changes placement and preserves all capacities, lives and reductions. It does not change a lifespan or move only the Flood.

## Reassessment

Verify the source’s three local counting paths without extending the companion rail upstream.

## Checks

```json
{
  "all_caps_preserved": true,
  "equalized_boundary": true
}
```
