Tom:
According to the history of Computus, the jitter explanation was removed by Mockingbird0 on 30 October 2008 without explanation.

I noticed that in the Wikipedia article on the computus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computus), at some time the explanation has been removed how the use of a separate solar and lunar "equation" (=correction) prevents introducing the jitter in the Gregorian solar calendar into its lunar calendar. Is that intentional? I make a point of it because some years ago Heiner Lichtenberg published some papers on the Lilius lunar calendar, in which he promotes the idea that the calendar could be simplified/improved by distributing the net 43 corrections evenly; which is not a bright idea as explained in the deleted paragraph.
