Subject: 3663 luni-solar year cycle

The 3663 luni-solar year cycle is listed on Karl P's

http://www.the-light.com/cal/Lunisolar33.html 

Many of the values for these datums are divisible by 17. It tells us
that a
good estimation for a term-month relationship is,

3663 terms = 2665 months

KARL SAYS: Helios has discovered that the number of months (45305) in
the 3663-year cycle is divisible by 17. 45305/17 = 2665 hence this cycle
approximates 2665 lunar months to 3663 terms. It has a mean month of
29.5305816... days.

HELIOS CONTINUES:
1 term = 2665 / 3663 months = 8 / 11 months + 1 / 3663 months

and noting that 1 / 11 = 333 / 3663 tells us that the elevenths part is
incremented every 333 terms ( about 19.6 years ).

KARL SAYS: I recall that Helios has previously suggested the idea of
dividing each term into 8 cells (of 2 or 3 days) and counting 11 cells
to each lunar month. 333 terms would then have 2664 cells. So this
suggests having a 9-cell term once every 333 terms, to bring it up to
2665 cells.

Suppose instead we have 9-cell term once every 334 terms. The 334 terms
have 2673 cells, which is exactly 243 months and so it approximates 334
terms to 243 months. Seventeen of these 243-month cycles make a 334-year
cycle of years and months. The complete cycle is 33*334=11022 years and
has a mean month of 29.5306179... days.


HELIOS CONTINUES:
So I'll set the initial value of the Brown Lunation Number "L" for the
first
term

L = 369 & 1522 / 3663 months

and create the formula

L = (  2665*T + 1350504 )/ 3663

to give the Lunation Number for all terms thereafter

KARL SAYS: This gives only an estimate of the lunation number and not
the moon phase
