data from ancient sources for re-analysis

• Chinese earthquake prediction based on height of water in deep wells
  I forget where II heard this from : probably Ben Davidson of Susiciou0bservers.org
• Strong similarities between [Mayan, Chinese] ancient calendar systems
  University of Calgary prof? I won't look for my links now)
• A concept for how Central American (maybe only Mayan?) pyramids were oriented :
  • geomagnetics too complex in Central America?
    
  • Charvatova got some indication that the model might apply to Chinese pyramids (earth mounds), but it may not be hugely convincing, as the dataset is small. But there may literally be thousands of Chinese earth pyramids, and the compass was first developed there (I think?) so maybe someone could go much further.
  • Of all the great ancient societies, Chinese laxk of stone pyramids is odd. But perhaps they were too busy building the Great Wall, palaces, temples etc? Or perhaps earthquakes in the "monument Valley" of China were too earthquake-prone, at least in ancient days?
• Howell table of Dwardona Cardona's [star, planet] gods : here's something that made gaps in my awareness painfully obvious: [Japan, China] were the main societies for which my quick summaries few [Sun, planetary] gods. But as I dug only a tiny bit futher, it seemed obvious that it is a huge theme, perhaps not favoured now.
  Remember - there are [dozen, hundred, thousand]s of names for the same god, even in the same society!!! 10Jan2023 I re-arranged html tables, with many mistakes. Also info is in[complete, correct].
  
  Gods of [planet, society]s
  [Uranus, Neptune, (Pluto)] are NOT listed, as there were not visible to the unaided eye of the ancients (no telescopes). The stories of the Dogan tribe in Africe raise issues here.

  Gods of [theme, society]s
  Many, if not most, of these Gods are NOT planets, but all planets are theme-gods as well? (I'm not sure). Few "theme gods" are listed below (mostly planet gods) - I will perhaps add far more over time?

I cannot analyse it un[less, til] he releases the digital form of this table of historical events, with thousands of items.

pseudo-decadal averaging work, Steven Puetz's Universal Wave Series

• Steven Puetz's "Universal Wave Series" (UWS) - this may be the most likely theme. PuetzUWS is certainly one of the most important themes, and it certainly would cut across all Chinese themes that have a well-known temporal history.
• time series analysis and predictability - the always-current problem of
• Steven Wickson - 900y climate cycle (also mentioned in previous bullet-list) : Wickson does simple, coded] binning of events, avoiding continuous real-number traps of analysis. He gets very good results, and it's woderful having the actual details, rather than some-one's statistical analysis, which is so often zero-thinking-dimensional.
• Inability of statistics to deal with sparse reality, irreprodicible events
  
• Observation is MOST important, and [concept, theory, math, stat, model] etc very often blind us, being to focused on our preferred way to do things, rather than to look at what we are dealing with. (We are often at the service of our [belief, toopl]s, rather than the other way around.) General Relativity, Quantum [Mechanics, computin] are good examples.
• Data-gatherers are often under-appreciated, but they are most often far more important than theoriests. You do NOT need theorists most of the time. And today, machines can do more theory than most theorists, soon more than essentially ALL theorists. Ideas are a dime a thousand, but still, the theorists are the glory-boys?
• [professional, research, operator, teach] people all have different [need, perspective]s. It would be normal for [confusion, priority]s to differ.
• Furthermore, your comment reminds me of a [background, ongoing] interest in mind in [catastrophic, millenial-long] failures of thinking by the experts. Of particular interest are [government, academic] scientists of today, When might a tool be appropriate, and when does it mislead us, even when we are [aware, careful] (fat chance).

Sierpinski fractal tetrahedra versus 3D Chinese checkers?

• Kepler's apparent feeling that tetrahedra should a better solution than his elliptical planetary motion models, but he never got the tetrahedra to work? (it's been decades since I read this somewhere, and my memory never was much good).
• Hoff??, presentation to Natural Philosphy Alliance" Sierpinski triangle replacement for Quantum Mechanics.

	Johanna L. Miller 19Nov2018 Quantum mechanics in fractal geometry (<Sierpinski triangle>), Physics Today ...Ingmar Swart, Cristiane Morais Smith, and colleagues at Utrecht University in the Netherlands have taken a step toward experimentally studying quantum physics in a fractional-dimensional system. On a (111) surface of copper they placed carbon monoxide molecules (black indentations in the figure) to corral the surface electrons into a simplified Sierpinski triangle. Howell: it seems to me that Kaal has a fractal-like basis to his "Structured Atom Model" (SAM), albeit with many component parts, and therefore more complex than many well-known fractal patterns? Perhaps the use of fractals in hollywood CGI images is somewhat similar, but taken to artistic extreme?
image from etsy.com	3D Chinese checkers? - after the [excitement, anticipation] it turns out that : 3D checkers are just 2D checkers raised to different levels (cheats!) Chinese checkers apparently aren't Chinese? : Sternhalma, commonly known as Chinese checkers (US and Canadian spelling) or Chinese chequers (UK spelling), is a strategy board game of German origin which can be played by two, three, four, or six people, playing individually or with partners. The game is a modern and simplified variation of the game Halma. The objective is to be first to race all of one's pieces across the hexagram-shaped board into "home"—the corner of the star opposite one's starting corner—using single-step moves or moves that jump over other pieces. The remaining players continue the game to establish second-, third-, fourth-, fifth-, and last-place finishers. The rules are simple, so even young children can play.
	3D Chinese checkers, Kaal style: Being lazy, why should I prepare an illustration when [Kaal, Sorensen] have already done so, tightly relating it to structures of the nucleus? More over, it's tied to a game with fun rules that let you build your own matter! Let's look at carbon first, as it's easy to see : Atom-Viewer comment after selecting carbon : "... Carbon is the most 'perfect' element that is recognized in SAM. It is not only the most geometrical and complete element it is also the 'building block' for the larger elements. Multiple Carbon nuclets intertwined together are called the "backbone" of the Atom in the SAM model. Carbon has 2 stable and 1 semi stable isotopes, C12, C13 and semi-stable C-14. ..." Do you see the tetrahedra?
	The Atom Viewer only lists to 118 (Oq = Oqanssenon) at the present time. But the highest nucleus that I found an image for, was Plutonium 239. I'm wondering if that's where all the previous 3D Chinese checkers players stopped, for some reason or another. <grin> So you must work hard to build the Chinese checker game, or go to the bar where you can get lots of advice. Playing chess with that many Sierpinsky fractal triangles, you might need all of the help that you can get...
