The following research paper presents a unique point of view utilizing the Law of Time and the Dreamspell codes on the issue of leap year and the accumulated extra day due to Earth's irregular wobble. While the opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect the Foundation's point of view, the Foundation for the Law of Time believes this Proposal to be a significant contribution to the study of the science of time and well worth examining for serious consideration. It is part of the responsibility of the Foundation for the Law of Time to receive and present worthy research efforts.

In Lak’ech, greetings to all Chrononauts on Earth.

Many thanks and praises to the Creator and the One Giver of Movement and Measure, Hunab Ku. May Universal Peace become the Standard State of our Solar System and Earth.

Many thanks to the people who most directly inspired this Proposal: Valum Votan, Valerie Vaughan and Hunbatz Men. Valum Votan for revealing the mathematical codes within the Tzolkin, Valerie Vaughan for an article entitled “The Fibonacci Numbers: Connections within the Mathematics and Calendrical Systems of Ancient Mesoamerica”, and Hunbatz Men for maintaining the True Count and sharing with us the wisdom of the Maya in his book “Secrets of Mayan Science/Religion”. I also wish to thank the people who have helped me realize the importance of maintaining the True Count, most specifically John Major Jenkins and Carl-Johan Calleman. Also Special thanks to Collin 6 Men and Wade 11 Etznab and Paige 12 Eb for good discussions.

This is a proposal for the introduction of a leap day intercalation cycle that surpasses the current Gregorian leap day and the wavespell out-of-time every 52 years proposition by 23-fold in accuracy. The Proposal also brings the Dreamspell Wizard count in harmony with the True Count. Let us begin with a story of the inherent harmonics of our solar system and the higher order of information found in the interactions of the planets over long periods of time.

Mercury and Saturn’s Synodic Cycles.
Mercury has a synodic cycle with the earth of 116 days (115.88 to be more exact). This means that every 116 days, Earth and Mercury line up in a line with Sun. This interval is tuned by the Tzolkin as follows: 116=9x13-1. Every nine wavespells, minus one day, Earth and Mercury have completed a synodic cycle. Similarly, Saturn has a synodic cycle of 378 days. This equals 13x29+1 days for a synodic cycle of Saturn with Earth. It is useful to think of calculational cycles for each of the planets. The calculational cycle for Mercury is 117 (9x13) days, and for Saturn it is 377 (29x13) days. The usefulness of the calculational cycle can be seen when you want to calculate events over long periods of time. It is beyond the scope of this proposal to illustrate the utility of calculational cycles.

Mercury’s synodic cycle of 116 days can be conveniently divided into four segments of 29 days each (29x4=116). This is analogous to our four earth seasons. For the sake of this proposal, a Mercury Season is defined as 29 days. 29 days is one day more than the Perfect Moon of 28 days, and can be used when we intercalate the days in this Proposed Intercalation Schedule.

It has been known for thousands of years that Earth circles Sun in a period slightly longer than 365 days. This slight excess of 365 days causes the year to “slip” out approximately one day every four years. In the West, where we have stayed mostly ignorant of the higher harmonics of the solar system, we have used rather artificial means of intercalating the leap day. Therefore, in the Gregorian calendar, we use a convoluted intercalation schedule, and it still gets off by one day every 3200 years. The ancient Egyptians and the Maya knew, as we know now, that if we maintained a 365 day year perpetually, we would get out of phase one day approximately every four years. But not exactly every four years. The closest integer number of years it would take to complete a cycle is 1508 years. This is how long it would take for a perpetual 365 day year to go out of phase with Sun and come back in phase again. So the most logical intercalation schedule would take advantage of this fact and intercalate a day every 1507 days. This is exactly equal to four years and 47 days.

As it turns out, thirteen of Mercury’s synodic cycles equals 1508 days (13x116=1508). And four of Saturn’s calculational cycles equal 1508 days (4x377=1508). The answer to our leap day dilemma is hidden in the planetary interactions and the higher order of information in our solar system.

The power of the number thirteen is revealed again and again in Natural Timekeeping. And by incorporating observations of other planets in our solar system, we can harmonize our own timekeeping to a deeper and more satisfying level.

The practical details of the leap-day intercalation schedule are found below:

1st: Maintain a Mercury Count and a Castle Count. Every Mercury Season of 29 days, make a mark. Also, maintain the regular schedule of maintaining the count of the castles. Every castle, make a mark. When the first day of the castle of 52 days and the first day of the 29 day Mercury Seasons hit again, 1508 days have passed. The day before this, intercalate one day into the Dreamspell 13-Moon calendar and the Dreamspell Tzolkin Wizard count.

2nd: Always maintain the True Count. The True Count never adds or removes days to its schedule. It is imperative to this Proposal that the True Count always be maintained as is. In this way, using the True Count, exactly 29 castles will pass for one intercalated day (29x52=1508=1507 days+1 intercalated day). In this way, the True Count is a calculational root for the Intercalation Schedule.

3rd: The Intercalated Moon: The Mercury Season. By maintaining a regular, unaltered schedule of intercalation, it is much easier to calculate any point in the future or past. The calendar is perfectly tuned with long and short time periods. Every four years, one moon and 19 days (1507 days), we have a Mercury Season, or a 29-day Moon.

4th: Proposed Beginning of Intercalation Schedule. Under this Proposal, the intercalation schedule begins in 2012, by intercalating the Day-out-of-time, July 25th. At this point in history, we can dispense with the “lock-step” schedule that makes the Dreamspell subject to the inaccurate Gregorian intercalation schedule. In 2012, we simply ignore the observed leap day on February 29th, then observe two days-out-of-time, July 24th and 25th 2012, White Rhythmic Mirror. Thus we enter the Blue Resonant Storm year in tune with the deeper harmonics of Earth, Mercury and Saturn.

1. It is 23 times more accurate than the Gregorian intercalation schedule.

2. Leap days do not need to be omitted every so often (like every century not divisible by four) but can be maintained in perpetuity. This makes pinpointing dates in history, future or past, much less complicated.

3. It raises our awareness of the higher order of interactions with other planets in our solar system, specifically Mercury and Saturn.

4. It is naturally harmonized with the wavespell/castle structure of the Tzolkin and the True Count, with an intercalation exactly every 29 castles.

5. It unifies the Dreamspell Wizard Count and the True Count. The True Count is the calculational root of the Leap-Day Intercalation Schedule. Every 260 intercalation cycles (1508 Sacred Rounds in the True Count), the True Count and Dreamspell Count will coincide.

The entire series of intercalations before it repeats will take 365 cycles, each cycle being 1507 days long. This takes 1507 intercalated years, or 1508 un-intercalated years.

I hope this finds you in good health and that you see the power of having a synchronometer that is as accurate as we can make it and in harmony with the ancient True Count.
