Now we can check the accuracy of the measurement using the finger, against the calculation using the figurate 666 and the " garden "
I'm just going to start referring to the triangular numbers by the index, ( Tₙ ), such that 666 = T₃₆
This is not bad, as far as accuracy, but let's now look at the average distance we use in modern astronomy, this is known as the " Lunar Distance Unit " , we'll compare to the value we calculate using the finger first
This is actually less accurate than using T₃₆ x 3600
Observe:
So by using the triangular figurate obtained from the Book of Revelation, ( the " Number of the beast " ) and the " garden ", we determine the approximate time-averaged lunar distance unit ( Within a fraction of a percent of accuracy ), which is the distance between Earth and the god " Sīn "
In mathematical astronomy, this is quite useful, as it can then be used to define other other astronomical values such as Earth's mass, radius, and rotation in addition to in characterizing the lunar radius and the mass of the Sun as well the distance to the Sun ( The Astronomical Unit - AU )
This brings me to the next oddity, which is the use of number theory, specifically, what we call Euler's totient function - φ(n)
In number theory, Euler's totient function counts the positive integers up to a given integer n that are relatively prime to n
φ(n) is the number of integers m coprime to n such that 1 ≤ m ≤ n.
φ(n) is the number of positive integers not exceeding n that have no common divisors with n (other than the common divisor 1. ( The only positive integer (factor) that divides both of them is 1 )
I had ended up at Euler's function originally after learning about the use of prime number gearing in the Antikythera mechanism, the ancient calculator of astronomical cycles, recovered from the ocean floor. ( When a gear has a prime number of teeth, it wears more evenly, leading to the gear lasting longer. This is still commonly exploited in modern engineering )
Much of the scrutinizing of the Antikythera mechanism centers around the hypothesis that it was built using knowledge of Babylonian mathematical astronomy, ( Itself really a combination of Mesopotamian and Egyptian mathematical knowledge )
When I began to realize that the triangular numbers have a history in the calculation of the date of Easter ( Computus ), I started to see that the astronomy calculations could all be reduced down to simple relationships
Using the figurate chosen for Genesis 1:1, 2701 = T₇₃
This pointed me back to the month of Adar and the association with Pisces, due to the work of Archimedes in his Measurement of a Circle, referred to this triangular figurate in the ratio (153/265), as constituting the "measure of the fish", this ratio being an imperfect representation of 1 divided by the square root of 3
I then discovered that this triangular figurate, 153 = T₁₇ is then part of this system of simplified calculations, using the synodic month average ( Interval of the flood )
The year length:
The Saros eclipse cycle, in lunar and synodic months
The Saros was defined in the Suda as "a measure and a number among Chaldeans. For 120 saroi make 2222 years according to the Chaldeans' reckoning, if indeed the saros makes 222 lunar months, which are 18 years and 6 months."
