# C1171 — Keep baseline equalities distinct from transformation equalities

## Question

How do the repeated MT ages and lives constrain the complete native family?

## Inputs

```json
{}
```

## Sources

```json

## Results

```json
{
  "baseline_equalities": {
    "path": "model/postflood_baseline_equalities.json",
    "sha256": "6382fce0b770c956c180be8131004b9c5048295a016096aaf672bd619fb29f86",
    "bytes": 1085
  },
  "constraint_rank": 4,
  "family_rank": 17
}
```

## Finding

Four independent named baseline equalities reduce this declared native-family model to17 numeric freedoms. Baseline repetitions and shared transformation amplitudes have different explanatory roles and should remain separately costed.

## Reassessment

Check whether minimizing rank alone would actually satisfy the Strategy’s compression goal.
