RESOLUTION OF THE ANCIENT NEAR EASTERN CHRONOLOGY PARADOX: DETERMINING THE 400-YEAR AND 430-YEAR CORE MATRIX OF ISRAELITE BONDAGE BASED ON THE NON-LINEAR TEMPORAL COMPRESSION MODEL

Abstract

# ABSTRACT / ABSTRAK ## Abstract (English) This study resolves one of the greatest structural discrepancies in ancient chronology: the paradox of dating the Israelite bondage between the 400-year macro-prophecy (Genesis 15:13) and the 430-year de jure administrative record (Exodus 12:40). By applying *The Non-Linear Temporal Compression Model*, this research proves that both durations are not scribal errors, but rather two distinct jurisdictional parameters. Through high-precision computation based on the universal constant Sc = 0.00000672 and exponent b = 1.25, this model demonstrates that the 430-year de jure period ran from Jacob's arrival in Goshen until the point of the First Plague. Meanwhile, the 400-year de facto period ran from the onset of foreign oppression until the First Plague. On a micro level, the cycle from Plague 1 to Plague 10 consumed 19 Days, which connects logistically through a transition matrix of 19 + 1 + 1 = 21 Days toward the final point of the parting of the sea (1446 BC). This quantitative mapping provides a new mathematical foundation to objectively audit ancient textual transmission history. **Keywords:** biblical chronology, non-linear temporal compression, exodus, de jure jurisdiction, cartesian x-axis, de facto jurisdiction --- ## Abstrak (Bahasa Indonesia) Penelitian ini memecahkan salah satu perbedaan struktural terbesar dalam kronologi kuno: paradoks penanggalan perbudakan Israel antara nubuatan makro 400 tahun (Kejadian 15:13) dan catatan administratif de jure 430 tahun (Keluaran 12:40). Dengan menerapkan *The Non-Linear Temporal Compression Model*, riset ini membuktikan bahwa kedua durasi tersebut bukanlah kesalahan juru tulis (*scribal error*), melainkan dua parameter yurisdiksi yang berbeda. Melalui komputasi presisi tinggi berdasarkan konstanta universal Sc = 0.00000672 dan eksponen b = 1.25, model ini membuktikan bahwa masa de jure 430 tahun berjalan sejak Yakub tiba di Gosyen hingga titik Tulah Pertama. Sementara itu, masa de facto 400 tahun berjalan sejak titik awal penindasan asing hingga Tulah Pertama. Secara mikro, siklus Tulah 1 hingga Tulah 10 mengonsumsi waktu 19 Hari, yang berkesinambungan secara logistik melalui matriks transisi 19 + 1 + 1 = 21 Hari menuju titik akhir pembelahan laut (1446 SM). Pemetaan kuantitatif ini menyediakan landasan matematis baru untuk mengaudit sejarah transmisi tekstual purba secara objektif. **Kata Kunci:** kronologi alkitab, kompresi temporal non-linear, eksodus, yurisdiksi de jure, sumbu x cartesian, yurisdiksi de facto
