Hello, fellow skeptics.
It is time to set the record straight regarding this # 432. You've laughed at a certain guy in this discussion a lot, which is fine with me, and you can laugh at me as well. There is not much ground to laugh at the #432, however since it is just a number, but what a beautiful number. It has some very special properties. Above all, it is outstanding as - you guessed it - .a composite number. A composite number is one that can gotten by multiplying two or more whole numbers. The #432 and its multiples simply translate into more variations than other composite numbers. That is all.
However, this one property has been noticed a long time ago, and it made 432 and its relatives like 216, or 864 famous throughout recorded history. The family of these numbers is sometimes called "Osiris numbers". For instance, it would seem practical to base one's system of measures on it, and so this was done already in Prehistory. Hertha von Deschend and Giorgio Santillana had co-authored a book "Hamlet's Mill" on this subject, which was published in the late sixties
The scholarly pair tends to think that the Osiris Numbers are involved, because they lend themselves to encoding knowledge on the equinoctial precession. Until the advent of powerful telescopes and such, the best estimate for the duration of precession was 25,920 years - an Osiris number.
This is where My work comes into spotlight, for it documents the same thing further back, yet, 14 millenia ago.
You see, I had measured and compared the distances between peripheral points of a certain prehistoric engraving. Here are the measurements, which are also the intended values quite evidently. We have thirteen whole numbers between 16 and 175. Here they are ordered by size:, 16, 27 (twice), 54, 80, 81, 108, 113 (twice), 139, 146, 147, and 175, altogether thirteen numbers. Of course, on the perimeter of the engraving these come in a different and seemingly pel-mell order.Still, there was something special to this order, and I was studying it, when I learned of the above mentioned Hamlet's Mill, and the so called precessional code.
So, here was a completely 'new' thing relating to important matters just like the collection of the thirteen values, from the perimeter of the Stone-Age engraving which I refer to henceforth as the "Frame" . Myself, I had never progressed to the stage, where I would be thinking of the Frame as precessional code, but I was so impressed by what I learned from the Frame already that it seemed like the Frame should be also competitive in this aspect. As a matter of fact, I was confident that the Frame will work this way, too. I looked at it as the set of unique numbers ordered by size to begin with.
First the two smallest numbers:
16 * 27 = 432 !! This does deserve the exclamation marks, doesn't it?
432 * 60 = 25,920
54 & 80
The next two values multiply to 4320.
54 * 80 = 4,320 !! How about this?
4320 * 6 = 25,920
80 & 81
The same 80 multiplied by the neighbouring 81
80 * 81 = 6,480
6480 * 4 = 25,920
The same 80 & 108
80 * 108 = 8640
8640 * 3 = 25920
25920 / 0.3 = 86,400 the number of seconds in a day
Pair4) 16 & 108
Naturally, if we make a pie-chart of these Osiris numbers, 16 and 108 become neighbours. That makes them a legitimate pair.
16 * 108 = 432 * 4 = 1728
1728 * 15 = 25,920
All the values of the Frame below 113 (16, 27, 54, 80, 81, 108) have a common denominator of 6480, or one-fourth of 25920. Ever since antiquity until the Steam Age, the latter number had been the standard for one precessional cycle.
The six smallest values are all overtly Osiris numbers.
The five numbers (113, 139, 146, 147, 175) after the six overt Osiris Numbers have nothing whatsoever to do with those - or so it seems. The impression is wrong, however. These numbers do compose into Osiris numbers, which directly address the duration of the precessional cycle.
First, 108 is a link carrying the spirit of Osiris to the following group.
108+113+139 = 360
Of course, 360 is an important Osiris Number The combinations of segments that follow it here, also give even multiples of 36.
113 & 139 = 252
252 = 36 * 7
139 & 146 & 147 Total 432 !!
146 & 147 & 175 Total 468 = 432 + 36 = 36 * 13
288 = 144 * 2 = 36 * 8
Now all five numbers
113 & 139 & 146 & 147 & 175 = 720 = 144 * 5 = 36 * 20
The five longest unique values of the Frame add up to 720 - a major Osiris Number.
Not only is this 720 a whole multiple of 36, but so are four of its subsections:
252 = 36 * 7
288 = 36 * 8
432 = 36 * 12
468 = 36 * 13
720 = 36 * 20
The average of the five segments is 144 per segment.
The total also divides into two subsections, which are multiples of 144:
288 = 144 * 2
432 = 144 * 3
Observation:
The character of this set of 720 is to repeat 36 and 144.
720 * 36 = 25,920 - Again, the classic duration of one precessional cycle.
But, what about the cycle of 25,920 years, and 144? Anything special?
The Precessional Cycle of 25,776 years
On this higher level of accuracy, the precession takes:
71.6 years for 1 degree,
25,776 years for the entire precessional cycle
25,920
- 25,776 = 144 years, or two degrees. Herein is our answer, as 144 is the difference in duration between the two basic levels of accuracy. This difference is itself an Osiris number..
180 * 144 = 25,920
179 * 144 = 25776
71.6 * 360 = 25776
No doubt, the Frame like this seems entirely concerned with the Osiris numbers, and precessional code. Yet, this was just a taste of what the Frame offers. Hope you liked it and found enlightement in the fact that someone 14 millenia ago knew more about composite numbers than the lot of you,
