Basecalc is my ongoing research lab for harmonic patterns - a place where numbers, geometry, music, architecture, and astronomy are explored as one interconnected language. Instead of asking you to believe anything, it gives you tools: calculators, tables, visualizations, and reference data so you can verify and experiment for yourself.
Quick note: this page asks more than a 10-second scroll. Knowledge is not free - it needs attention to pay. Pay with focus and it pays back in deeper understanding of geometry, architecture, music harmony, astronomic cycles, and scripture.
For architects, designers, musicians, and anyone who wants to learn (or unlearn) beyond school: this page is a hands-on lab. Use it to test the golden section on real sizes, tune by ear with 432/440 Hz tables, explore the circle of fifths, and spot repeating number families that map across space, sound, and time. It is not theory for theory's sake; it is a practical way to improve proportions, voicings, and layouts while building a clearer sense of pattern in the world.
The goal of Basecalc is not to sell a doctrine, but to offer a playground for curiosity: a space where a musical note, a pyramid dimension, a planetary cycle, and a simple fraction can all be seen as different expressions of underlying harmonic relationships. If you are a designer, musician, architect, scientist, or just a fascinated nerd with a calculator, Basecalc invites you to dive in, test the patterns, and draw your own conclusions.
This page is a playground for the numbers behind music, myth, sacred geometry and time cycles. You can follow how the same few harmonics repeat from tuning (432 Hz) to Platonic solids and the 25,920 year "Great Year".
Why do numbers like 3, 6, 9, 72, 216, 432, 864 and 25920 appear in music, myth, geometry, astronomy and ancient architecture? This page lets you explore that question directly by showing how the same numbers repeat in different counting systems and scales.
432 Hz is sometimes described as a "natural" or "cosmic" tuning, not because physics has confirmed a single frequency for the universe, but because 432 fits a 3 based harmonic ladder (root 9) that reappears in Maya calendars, Hindu Yuga cycles, pyramid proportions, biblical number sets and the 25920 year precession cycle. The claim is symbolic, not scientific, but the number patterns themselves are real, measurable and testable on this page.
Example: The equinox point shifts approx. 1 degree every about 72 years. Multiply 72 by 360 degrees and you get about 25920 years, the so called Great Year. Notice how 72 -> 216 -> 432 -> 864 -> 25920 is the same harmonic sequence scaled up.
These same number paths also appear in geometry. The basic polygons of "sacred" or classical geometry follow the same 3 based logic: the circle (infinite sides), the triangle (3), the square (4), the pentagon / pentagram (5 and the golden ratio), and the hexagon (6) which tiles perfectly inside a circle of 360 degrees. From these come the five Platonic solids, each built from one repeating polygon, and all fitting inside the sphere by harmonic angles of 72, 90, 108 and 120 degrees. The page tools let you trace how these shapes, angles and number bases line up with the same 3-6-9 ladder used in the 432 family.
Harmonic spirals nested in circular symmetry: left pattern reveals 6 fold coherence, right pattern multiplies through recursive 12 fold geometry.

Different civilizations counted in different bases. Understanding that makes the repeating patterns easier to see:
| Base | Used For | Meaning on this page |
|---|---|---|
| Base 10 | trade, measuring objects, money, engineering | Form (matter, things you can weigh or build) |
| Base 60 | time (60 s, 60 min), 360 degree circles, astronomy | Flow (cycles, motion, sky geometry) |
The tools on this page let you switch between bases and see how the same number behaves differently depending on how you count. When 6 (flow) and 10 (form) meet, you get 60: the bridge between matter and motion.
No belief required: just test the numbers and decide for yourself whether the pattern is coincidence, design, or something in between.
Western keyboards and guitars use 12 equal steps per octave (equal temperament). Each step (a semitone) multiplies pitch by the same factor: 2^(1/12). If A4 = 440 Hz is your reference, any note n semitones away has f = 440 * 2^(n/12).
Example (clockwise by fifths, wrapping by octaves): A → E → B → F# → C# → G# → D# → A# → F → C → G → D → A. Musically, close keys sit next to each other on this circle and share many notes, which is why the circle helps with chord progressions and key changes.
In equal temperament, every note is built from a reference pitch A4. Most modern music uses A4 = 440 Hz. Tuning to A4 = 432 Hz lowers every note by a small, fixed amount: ratio = 432/440 = 0.981818..., which is about -31.8 cents (roughly one third of a semitone).
Formulas
For any note n semitones away from A4:
f_440(n) = 440 * 2^(n/12)
f_432(n) = 432 * 2^(n/12) = f_440(n) * (432/440)
| Reference | A4 | Shift vs 440 | Perceived effect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 440 Hz tuning | 440.000 Hz | 0 cents | Modern standard; bright, consistent across gear. |
| 432 Hz tuning | 432.000 Hz | -31.8 cents | Slightly lower and often perceived as warmer or more relaxed. |
Want to hear it yourself? We have examples rendered in 432 Hz in the Gallery section below on this page.
Tip: to retune a track, multiply every frequency by 432/440, or set your synth/DAW global reference to A4 = 432 Hz.
In equal temperament, each semitone multiplies frequency by 2^(1/12). If A4 is your reference (commonly 440 Hz), the frequency of any note n semitones away is f = A4 x 2^(n/12). An octave (12 semitones) doubles the frequency (ratio 2:1). The perfect fifth is close to a 3:2 ratio; stepping by fifths cycles through all 12 pitch classes (modulo the octave).
Below is the cycle as simple note-to-note arrows. It adds 7 semitones mod 12 each step.
Frequencies are computed with: f_interval = 432 * ratio. These are pure (just) ratios. In 12-TET the actual frequencies differ slightly so you can play in all keys.
| Interval | Ratio | Frequency (Hz) |
|---|---|---|
| Unison | 1:1 | 432.00 |
| Octave | 2:1 | 864.00 |
| Perfect Fifth | 3:2 | 648.00 |
| Perfect Fourth | 4:3 | 576.00 |
| Major Third | 5:4 | 540.00 |
| Minor Third | 6:5 | 518.40 |
| Major Sixth | 5:3 | 720.00 |

El Castillo (Temple of Kukulcan), Chichen Itza
Palenque in Mexico (9 base-layers x 5 doors/windows x 4 sides x 2 top layers = 360; 360x3 = 1080, 360x4 = 1440)
Base-20 (vigesimal) system: The Maya used a base-20 count, reflecting the natural count of fingers and toes — a "hands and feet" mathematics. The third level (Tun) is adjusted to 18 × 20 = 360 to align with the solar year, showing harmony between celestial cycles and human measure.
Cycle hierarchy:
1 Kin = 1 day
1 Uinal = 20 Kin = 20 days
1 Tun = 18 Uinal = 360 days
1 Katun = 20 Tun = 7,200 days ≈ 19.7 years
1 Baktun = 20 Katun = 144,000 days ≈ 394.26 years
13 Baktun = 1 Great Cycle = 1,872,000 days ≈ 5,125.36 years
Precessional harmony: Five Maya Great Cycles ≈ 25,626.8 years, nearly equal to Earth’s precessional year (~25,920 years). This resonance unites Maya, Hindu, and Sumerian cosmologies through shared numeric constants: 3,000, 6,000, 9,000, 12,000, 24,000, 36,000, 54,000, 72,000, 108,000, 144,000, 432,000, 72, 216, 8,640, 43,200. Each expresses a fractal scaling of time and consciousness.
Numerical synthesis:
– 360 days (Tun) ↔ 360-degree circle ↔ solar year
– 144,000 days (Baktun) ↔ Revelation / pyramid ratio key
– 72 years per degree ↔ precession constant
– 432 Hz ↔ "cosmic" base tone in tuning lore
– 864,000 miles (sun diameter) ↔ mirrored in Maya and Hindu scales
Fractal time concept: The Maya viewed time as recursive — each unit a seed of the next. Kin : Uinal : Tun : Katun : Baktun form a living sequence of micro-to-macro harmony, echoing the same base-6, 12, 60 resonances found in other sacred systems.
| Maya Unit | Count (days) | Equivalent years | Harmonic relation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kin | 1 | 1 day | Unit of life / heartbeat |
| Uinal | 20 | 0.0548 yr | 20 digits — base of creation |
| Tun | 360 | 0.986 yr | Circle of degrees / solar year |
| Katun | 7,200 | 19.7 yr | ≈ lunar node cycles |
| Baktun | 144,000 | 394.26 yr | 144 = 12² — completion code |
| 13 Baktun | 1,872,000 | 5,125.36 yr | 1 Great Cycle / Mayan Age |
| 5 × 13 Baktun | 9,360,000 | 25,626.8 yr | ≈ precession of the equinoxes |
Many ancient systems modeled the year as 360 days. Interpreting the Maya Long Count through that lens makes several harmonics exact and easier to see.
| Maya Unit | Count (days) | Years @ 365.2425 | Years @ 360 | Harmonic notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kin | 1 | 0.00274 | 0.00278 | Seed unit |
| Uinal | 20 | 0.0548 | 0.0556 | Base-20 digit cycle |
| Tun | 360 | 0.986 | 1.000 | Exactly 1 "ancient" year |
| Katun | 7,200 | 19.73 | 20.00 | 20 "ancient" years |
| Baktun | 144,000 | 394.26 | 400.00 | 20 Katun = 400 "ancient" years |
| 13 Baktun | 1,872,000 | 5,125.36 | 5,200.00 | 1 Great Cycle = 13 × 400 years |
| 5 × 13 Baktun | 9,360,000 | 25,626.8 | 26,000.0 | ≈ precession (ancient rounding) |
Takeaway: With a 360-day year, Tun = 1 year, Katun = 20 years, Baktun = 400 years, Great Cycle = 5,200 years, and Five Great Cycles = 26,000 years — making the precessional harmony very clean in an "ancient time" framework.

Kailasa Temple, Ellora — a monolithic "yuga-scale" symbol in stone.
The Brahma Purana is one of the 18 Maha Puranas. Despite the title it is not only about Brahma. It mixes sacred geography, cosmology, legends, genealogies, temple lore, and pilgrimage guides. Many chapters praise Surya (the sun) and major tirtha regions, especially the Godavari basin and coastal Odisha (for example Jagannath-Puri traditions and a sun-temple focus). The text exists in layered recensions compiled over many centuries.
| Topic | What the text emphasizes | Number pattern notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sapta-dvipa world | Seven island-continents, each encircled by an ocean, concentric rings around Meru. | 7 islands + 7 oceans gives a 7-layer alternation. Map to 7-scale degrees or 7x ring UI. DR(7)=7; base-7 motif sits well with base-60 ring ticks. |
| Mount Meru hub | Meru stands at the cosmic center; four quarters marked by cardinal mountains and rivers flowing to the four directions. | Fourfold symmetry for compass mapping. 4-way cross overlay and perfect-fourths metaphor in music view. |
| Surya focus | Hymns and narratives around the sun, allied deities, and sun temples. | Great for 12-month and 6-season wheels. Base-6 and base-12 toggles align with solar cycles and 12-TET metaphors. |
| Tirtha-mahatmya blocks | Pilgrimage guides and holy place lore, esp. Godavari region and Odisha coastline. | Cubit-inch-foot toggles and DR badges. Wayfinding numbers often compress to simple roots. |
| Genealogies and myths | Lineages of kings and sages, creation cycles, avatars, and temple-origin legends. | Layered timelines with base-6 grouping (6, 12, 24, 60). |
| Time cycles (yugas) | Four ages in 4:3:2:1 proportion, summing to a maha-yuga. | Direct 432 linkage: Kali 432,000 years; maha-yuga 4,320,000 years. Align to A=432 panel and DR checks. |

RC = Egyptian royal cubit (~0.5236 m, ~20.62 in). Hebrew cubit = 18.00 in (~0.4572 m). DR(x) = digital root of an integer x reduced to one digit by repeated digit sums. DR pair is DR(Base RC) + DR(Height RC) reduced to one digit. DR(ratio digits) is the digital root of the sum of all digits in the ratio (for example 11:7 gives 1+1+7 = 9). Root-9 is YES if DR pair equals 9 or DR(ratio digits) equals 9. 12-TET mapping: treat the base:height ratio as a frequency multiple above A; nearest note, cents offset and the frequencies at A4 = 432 Hz and A4 = 440 Hz are shown (Freq = A4 * ratio).

NOTE:
The meter is defined by fixing the speed of light c = 299 792 458 m/s
and defining the second via the cesium-133 hyperfine transition
frequency ("atomic vibration") of 9 192 631 770 Hz.
So the meter is tied to light speed and that atomic frequency,
not to human anatomy.

Every reign length reduces to digital root 9. The grand total, 432,000 years, is one of the core "432" harmonic numbers used in cosmology lore, Vedic/Yuga cycle talk, and sacred time-base systems. It is the same 432 resonance already tracked in tuning, precession, and calendar systems on this page.
This section focuses on numbers that are either explicitly stated in the Qur'an text itself (for example 19, 12, 4, 7) or are standard composition facts (114 surahs, 6,236 verses in the Hafs/Kufa tradition), then maps them into base-6, base-60 and digital-root views.

Read what is in plain sight by counting columns without double-counting the corner columns.
Most Greek temples stand on a 3-step base called the crepidoma (often just "crepis"). The top step is the stylobate, where the columns stand. The lower step(s) are the stereobate. At Paestum, the temples follow the usual 3-step scheme.

Gematria is a simple system where each Hebrew letter equals a number. Add the letter values of a word to get its total. In Torah study, this does not replace the plain meaning; it highlights patterns and supports ideas found in the text.

Enter a base-10 number, pick a base and press Convert. The steps below show the repeated division and the final digit string in the chosen base.
A base is the number of unique digits you use before you roll over to a new place. Place values grow by powers of the base: ones (base^0), base (base^1), base^2, base^3, and so on. To see the conversion, fill in a number and press your button above.

This section shows the classic binary doubling chain 1 → 2 → 4 → 8 → 16 → 32 → ... and compares each value's digital root (sum of digits reduced to 1-9). The key observation: the digital roots of powers of two cycle as 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1 and never hit 3, 6, or 9. That is the "3-6-9 does not appear in binary roots" idea.
Contrast: for powers of two, the digital-root cycle stays on the six-step wheel [2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1]. No 3, 6, or 9 appear.
The pentagram inscribes a regular pentagon whose interior angle is 108°. Five such corners give 5 × 108° = 540° (digital root 5+4+0 = 9). These "holy" counts connect to zodiac/precession cycles long cited in esoteric math: 72, 432, 2,160, 25,920. We contrast the classical schema (25,920 years = 360° × 72 y/°) with a modern astronomical estimate (about 25,772 years).
Metatron’s Cube is the line network formed by connecting the centers of the 13 circles (Flower/Seed of Life extension). Within that network, the edge-graphs of all five Platonic solids can be embedded by appropriate selections of lines. This section maps those solids, their dualities, and their characteristic angle sums into the same 3‑6‑9 digital-root lens you’ve used elsewhere.
The Hebrew Bible / KJV gives physical and temporal measurements in clean integer blocks. We treat cubits as 18 inches = 1.5 feet, and regnal years as 360-day years the way ancient calendars are often modeled.
Below: Solomon's Temple (1 Kings 6), the Ark of the Covenant (Exodus 25:10), and Jehoram timelines (2 Kings 3:1 KJV). For each value we also show the digital root: add the digits until you get one number.

The core block of the Temple is 60 : 20 : 30 cubits (1 Kings 6:2 KJV). Reduce that and you are looking at clean integers (3 : 1 : 1.5 if you divide through by 20), then a 20-cubit cube for the Most Holy Place (1 Kings 6:20 KJV).
Plain language: the Temple body is about 1080" long × 360" wide × 540" high (≈ 90 × 30 × 45 ft), and the inner gold room is a ~360" cube (≈ 30 ft cube). All inch values collapse to 9.

"Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years." 2 Kings 3:1 KJV
We model an ancient / prophetic year as 360 days.
| Span | Years | Days @ 360-day year | Root of Days (digit sum → 1 digit) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eighteenth year marker | 18 years | 18 × 360 = 6480 days | 6480 → 6+4+8+0 = 18 → 1+8 = 9 |
| Reign length | 12 years | 12 × 360 = 4320 days | 4320 → 4+3+2+0 = 9 |
| Total window | 18 + 12 = 30 years | 6480 + 4320 = 10800 days | 10800 → 1+0+8+0+0 = 9 |
The regnal math that frames when "the word of the prophet" reaches the king (2 Kings 3) collapses to 9, the Ark dimensions collapse to 9, and the Temple inch-counts collapse to 9.
Assumptions: 1 cubit = 18 inches = 1.5 ft; prophetic year = 360 days (30-day months). Base-6 uses digits 0-5. "Root" = digital root (sum of digits to 1-9; 0→0).

This short note is offered with respect for every reader and their faith practice. It does not try to take anything away. It simply adds a set of glasses that many early readers used: number, pattern, temple imagery, and sky time. With these glasses the text can read less like a child story and more like layered wisdom. Please test every claim for yourself.
Two fish can point to the vesica shape (two become one space), and five loaves can point to the Torah pattern and growth steps. Twelve baskets left over signals a full Israel made ready to serve. The sign works at the table and at the symbol level.
Please check the numbers and patterns yourself. My Basecalc page collects simple tables and visuals for this older way of reading: cycles, ratios, and digital roots that keep showing up. If even a small piece makes sense, you now have a tool to read more deeply without giving up the plain sense or your devotion.
Different cultures use a similar pattern: descent, death or loss, then a decisive turn "on the third day" or after a set period. Here is a compact overview.
| Approx. Era | Culture | Story / Figure | 3-day or Death-Return Motif | Resonance with Christian "3rd Day" |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| c. 2000 BCE | Sumerian / Mesopotamian | Inanna / Ishtar | Descent to the underworld; Inanna is killed and hung on a hook. If she does not return after three days and three nights, the gods are asked to intervene. She is revived and returns, with a substitute sent below. | Very explicit "three days and three nights" dead, then restoration. Shows the deep Near Eastern pattern of a god passing through death and returning. |
| 2nd millennium BCE and later | Egypt, Levant, Mesopotamia | Osiris, Dumuzi / Tammuz, Baal | Gods linked to grain, flood and rain. They die, go to the underworld or are dismembered, then return or live on as lords of the dead. Timing is mostly yearly (seasons), not a fixed three days. | Same basic idea of dying and returning, tied to the life cycle of nature. Sets the background for later "dying and rising god" language, but without a strict third-day count. |
| 1st millennium BCE | Greek / Phrygian, later Roman | Attis and the spring festival | Festival sequence around the spring equinox: ritual mourning and "death" of Attis, followed by a day of joy (Hilaria) when his life or presence is restored. The emotional arc runs over about three days. | Death, mourning, then joy at the god's return in the same spring window where Easter later sits. Not word-for-word the same story, but very similar seasonal symbolism. |
| c. 1st millennium BCE | Israel (Hebrew Bible) | "Third day" pattern | Several key events happen "on the third day": Abraham and Isaac, Sinai revelation, Hosea 6:2 ("after two days he will revive us, on the third day he will raise us up"). "Third day" becomes a signal for decisive rescue or revelation by God. | Provides an internal biblical logic: the third day is when God steps in. This is the main scriptural background used by early Christians for Jesus rising "on the third day." |
| Late Second Temple period | Jewish | Jonah and later beliefs about death | Jonah spends three days and three nights in the fish. Later Jewish teaching often says the soul stays near the body for three days before departing for good. | Makes three days the threshold of "really dead." A third-day return is not just a short fainting spell, but a true reversal of death. |
| 1st century CE | Early Christianity | Jesus: cross, tomb, "rebuild the temple" | Jesus predicts he will be raised on the third day and speaks of "destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up," interpreted as his body. Death at Passover, buried before the Sabbath, discovered alive on the third day. | Combines the older Hebrew "third day" rescue pattern with the wider Near Eastern theme of death and return, now focused on one historical person and tied to Passover and the spring equinox window. |
In all these stories you can see the same "cosmic hardware": a three-day threshold for death, and key turning points at solstices, equinoxes and seasonal change. Different traditions install different "mythic software" on that hardware: Inanna, Osiris, Attis, Baal, the Hebrew Bible stories and Jesus all use the same time pattern in their own way.
Note: 3 days = 72 hours = 4320 minutes = 259200 seconds. The same 72, 432 and 25920 / 259200 number family appears in the precession and harmonic ratios used elsewhere on this page.
These examples are outside the Bible chapter above, but are still treated here as scripture/tradition entries. The method stays the same: use a literal number found in the text or in the reading/canon structure, then show a clean 432 bridge.
Not "proof" of anything by itself. Just clean numeric hooks that land directly on the 432-family (432, 144, 72, 216, 4320, 432000, 864000, 4320000, etc.) across multiple traditions.
Enter a number, pick a base, then view its conversions and harmonic notes.
Example is 540, which lives in the 3–6–9 family.
The calculator shows conversions across bases 6, 9, 10, 12, 24 and 60, plus digital roots and short notes on how each value sits inside the harmonic grid.

Extending phi = 1.618033988749894... through 100 decimal truncations, the digital root (sum of digits -> 1 to 9) returns 9 at specific intervals: 10, 18, 26, 30, 32, 34, 46, 47, 50, 54, 57, 79, 84, 87, 94, 95.
These positions mirror the same harmonic numbers that resonate through the BaseKalk framework - 432, 369, 396, 234, 144, 108, 54 - repeating as fractal reflections of Root 9 within phi itself.
Each point where a phi prefix -> Root 9 marks a resonant closure in its decimal spiral, echoing the geometry of precession and the same Mayan / Platonic harmonic structure.
"A constant" in phi - Root 9 - reveals its own cosmic timing.

Table 2 - Constant in phi - Root-9 intervals (excluding the 1) - after-comma cumulative sums where Digital Root = 9.
After-comma Root-9 in φ: Summing only the digits after the comma of φ and taking the base-10 digital root, the running sum returns to 9 at several positions from the sacred list, most clearly at n = 96, 216, 10240, and at many sexagesimal milestones (for example 720, 960, 1080, 1800, 2304, 2400). These hits cluster on the 3-6-9 / base-6 lattice (multiples of 6, 36, 216 = 6^3), forming a recognizable "after-comma" Root-9 beat.
Note: Which exact n hits depends on whether we count the leading 1 or not; most hits shift between the two conventions, with only a few shared anchors (96, 216, 10240). Root-9 repeats in both views, but the cleanest alignments tend to sit on the sexagesimal grid.
Take a whole unity, say 1. Divide it into two parts: a larger part and a smaller part, such that the whole : larger = larger : smaller. That special value is the golden ratio (phi) ~ 1.618.
In symbols: let the whole = 1, the larger part = a, the smaller part = b. Then 1 : a = a : b -> which yields a/b = a/(1 - a) = phi ~ 1.618.
When you divide in that ratio, you get a structure that embeds itself: the whole (1) relates to the larger part (~ 0.618 of 1) in the same way the larger part relates to the smaller part.
The larger part is a scaled-down version of the whole in proportions, and the smaller part is a further scaled version. This gives a nested sequence of proportions: macro contains micro, and micro contains another micro-pattern - "as above, so below."
In growth, reproduction, and pattern-making (plants, shells, branching, phyllotaxis, and so on), a division or multiplication in the golden ratio lets new growth mirror the proportions of existing structure. Because of the self-similar relation, adding or subdividing in that ratio preserves a harmonic proportion across scale.
For example: start with size 1. Multiply by phi (~ 1.618) -> ~ 1.618. That new size can then be subdivided so the larger part is ~ 1 and the smaller ~ 0.618, and the proportions map the same way. Each "generation" of growth remains proportionally consistent, preserving form through scale.
Start with 1 -> multiply by phi ~ 1.618 -> whole ~ 1.618.
Divide in golden ratio: larger ~ 1.000, smaller ~ 0.618.
Check: larger : smaller ~ 1.000 : 0.618 ~ 1.618 (same ratio).
Divide the larger part again: larger ~ 0.618, smaller ~ 0.382, and so on.
Each level replicates the ratio pattern. Because each "part" carries the same proportion as the "whole", the micro-level carries the macro-pattern.
Imagine a plant branching: the main stem is the "whole", the major branch the "larger part", the minor branch the "smaller part". If the growth splits in golden ratio, the branch-structure keeps the same proportion at each level. Each branch (micro) reflects the form of the trunk (macro). Thus: 1 : 1.618 acts like a "growth-division formula" by which the total remains in the same proportions as it was and will be ("past-present-future in one"). The pattern reproduces itself.
For any right-angled triangle: a2 + b2 = c2
a and b are the two short sides (the legs).
c is the longest side (the hypotenuse).
Kid version: "Square the legs, add them, then take the square root to get the slanted side."
Picture a 1x1 square and draw the diagonal.
Legs: a = 1, b = 1
Compute: 12 + 12 = 1 + 1 = 2 → c = √2 (approx. 1.414)
Kid talk: "One step across and one step up makes a root-two slanted side."
Make two unit circles (radius = 1) so each center lies on the other circle. The almond-shaped overlap is the Vesica Piscis.
Inside it is an equilateral triangle of side 1. Its half-height is:
height = sqrt(12 - (1/2)2) = sqrt(1 - 1/4) = sqrt(3/4) = √3 / 2
The full top-to-bottom line in the vesica stacks two of these: (√3 / 2) + (√3 / 2) = √3 (approx. 1.732)
Kid talk: "In the magic almond, the tall middle is root-three when circles have size 1."
Draw a 1x2 rectangle and its diagonal.
Legs: a = 1, b = 2
Compute: 12 + 22 = 1 + 4 = 5 → c = √5 (approx. 2.236)
Kid talk: "Go one square across and two squares up; the shortcut is root-five long."
Use unit size (call it "1") as your measuring stick:
In short: divide space with unit shapes and use a2 + b2 = c2, and the square roots appear naturally:
12 + 12 = 2 → √2 |
1 - (1/2)2 → √3 / 2 → √3 |
12 + 22 = 5 → √5
Pythagoras (6th century BCE) is widely credited with the theorem a2 + b2 = c2, but the idea is older and appears in several ancient cultures:
Simple takeaway for kids: Pythagoras made it famous, but builders and scribes across the ancient world already used this right-corner rule to measure land and make things square and true.
The number 153, often referred to as the "fisherman's number," arises in John 21:11, where the disciples catch 153 large fish after Jesus tells them where to cast their nets. This passage, often mistaken for a miraculous event, is deeply encoded with mathematical and harmonic symbolism — not just literal narrative.
The harmonic significance of 153 and the Seed of Life
153 is the 17th triangular number — the sum of all integers from
1 to 17
(1 + 2 + 3 + … + 17 = 153).
This is symbolically significant because 17 correlates with the Vesica Piscis geometry, a foundational form from which the Seed of Life emerges.
The Seed of Life, constructed from 7 interlocking circles, also relates to musical and harmonic intervals, echoing sacred creation codes.
The number 153 is also linked to the Vesica Piscis ratio (√3 ≈ 1.732), the square root of 3, through its mathematical properties. When divided by the number of fishers (perhaps 7), the quotient is about 21.857 — close to the mathematical value of 1 / √(1 − φ2) (where φ is the golden ratio), embedding a fractal harmonic into the narrative.
The feeding of the 5000: symbolic arithmetic
Jesus feeds a multitude with 2 fish and 5 loaves, and
12 baskets remain full. Here again, the symbolic numerics align with cosmic geometry:
This is less about physical multiplication and more about harmonic resonance. When coherence and right alignment are present (as in sharing or faith), the field itself becomes multiplicative, not consumptive.
Why the net was not torn
John 21:11 emphasizes that, even with 153 large fish, the net was not torn. Symbolically, the net represents the matrix or fabric of spacetime,
or more intimately, the field of connection between individuals. Its integrity remaining intact suggests that unity held under harmonic abundance —
a fractal structure can withstand multiplicity without rupture, as long as coherence is preserved.
Symbolically, it is a message: spiritual networks do not tear when filled with harmonic multiplicity — they grow stronger.
Diagram showing the harmonic relationship between 265 and 153 in the Vesica Piscis,
illustrating that 1 / h = √3 ≈ 265 / 153.
Summing all digital roots across the full alphabet (A = 1 … Z = 26) and their harmonic extensions (×6, ×9) gives:
| Root Column | Σ |
|---|---|
| Root(Value) | 126 |
| Root(6 × n) | 153 |
| Root(9 × n) | 234 |
| Total | 513 |
The combined total of 513 forms a direct harmonic link to the triadic constant 153 — the 17th triangular number (1 + 2 + … + 17 = 153), known since antiquity as the "Fisherman's Number."
When balanced by its mirror: 513 + 153 = 666, it reveals the same Root 9 closure found throughout Base Kalk's harmonic geometry — the constant resonance of 3 – 6 – 9 within the phi field.
In essence: 153 completes 666 — the harmonic seal of Root 9.

Four self-similar growth patterns that keep showing up in nature, geometry, sound, and cosmic scale:
Spiral of Theodorus (right-triangle root steps),
Phyllotaxis / Vogel model (sunflower packing at the golden angle),
Logarithmic Spiral (r = a·ebθ — shells & galaxies),
and a Cymatic / Rose Spiral (r = a·sin(kθ) standing-wave petals).
The Earth is not a perfect sphere — the equator bulges.
• Equatorial diameter ≠7,926 miles
• Polar diameter ≠7,900 miles
• Difference ≠26 miles
• A diagonal / tropic-to-tropic style measure ~7,920 miles
• A perfect sphere with the same surface area as Earth would have diameter ≠7,920 miles, which is often treated as a “sacred number.”
The Sakwala Chakraya is a shallow rock carving often described as a cosmological map. It is located in Sri Lanka, in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, inside the Ranmasu Uyana gardens. The site sits a short walk from the Isurumuniya temple, near the Tissa Wewa reservoir.
Base-10 speaks the shape; Base-60 conducts the motion; frequency (for example, 440 Hz -> 20126, 7;2060, and the sacred set 432/144/108) bridges them. Sakwala Chakraya makes the Great Year legible as geometry and audible as harmonic number.
2012 in Base-6 is a tesseract moment in time, not the end...20x22 (in Base-10) = 440, in Base-60 = 720 (years = 10 degrees precession)
The carving reads like a walkable cosmogram. The rim shows a bestial band, a wheel of time. Inside are long rectangular lanes that suggest a calendar or processional route. Repeating cross-in-circle marks act as cycle stations. Two spiral centers (noted as 2 x 7 rings) behave like source and return points. Vesica or fish-like lenses show intersections of paths. A square-with-feet glyph looks like an instruction to walk the plan. Overall flow: rim -> lanes -> spiral -> exit, signalling a cyclic view of time rather than a straight line.
| Motif | Likely meaning | Pattern hooks |
|---|---|---|
| Outer animal rim | Zodiac-like perimeter, procession of time, world-ages band | Families 12, 24, 36, 72, 360 |
| Rectangular lanes inside circle | Calendar rows, itinerary fields, processional paths | Counts map to base-6, base-12, base-60 |
| Cross-in-circle nodes | Cycle stations or turning points | Totals that land on 12, 24, 36, 72, 144, 360 |
| Two spiral centers (2 x 7 rings) | Twin source and return, above/below pairing, great turnings | Heptads 7 and 14; octave metaphor 1:2 |
| Vesica or fish-like lenses | Intersection of circles, overlap of realms, balance moments | Equinox analogy; 3-6-9 digital-root loops by counts |
| Square with feet glyph | Earth or temple plan that must be walked (embodied path) | 4-in-1 union (square in circle), quartering markers |
Many so-called primitive panels encode ordered ideas: cosmos layout, cycles, and a walked path. The image here reads as a compact number map: a tree/axis with 12 branches, a cycle sign (circle quartered), a tall 7-headed figure, and groups of 3 small figures. This is consistent with sky observation plus social rite markers rather than random marks.
| Element | Plain reading | Number pattern notes |
|---|---|---|
| Tree with 12 branches | Axis mundi or world tree; a vertical link between ground and sky | 12 fits months, winds, directions by fours, or zodiac style indexing; pairs well with base-6 and base-60 cycles |
| Quartered circle near the tree | Cycle sign: fourfold partition of a whole (seasons, quarters, cardinal points) | 4 divides 12 (3 per season); typical for solstice and equinox mapping |
| Seven-headed tall figure | Composite or crowned person; completeness marker across the seven layers/heavens | Heptad set: 7 days, 7 classical planets, 7 heavens; in music an octave frame touches 7 named steps before the 8th return |
| Three small figures in a cluster | Procession or lineage; triad unit used for counting or ritual grouping | Triads stack to 9 (digital root 9 motif); 3 x 4 = 12 links to the tree count above |
| Repeated vertical strokes and side glyphs | Tallies or clan marks; could be step counts on an initiation route | Look for totals that land on 12, 24, 36, 72, or 144 for calendar math; check digital roots |
The panel combines an axis, a fourfold cycle, a sevenfold completeness sign, and a twelvefold distribution. Those are standard building blocks of measured time and sacred space across many cultures. When counts from the same panel coherently map to base-6, base-12, and base-60 families, the intent is mathematical and cosmological, not random decoration.
Earthenware bowl from Samarra, present-day Iraq, dated around 4000 BCE. The piece is associated with the Samarra or early Mesopotamian cultural horizon and was excavated by the German archaeologist Ernst Herzfeld.
| Element | Count / relation | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Fish total | 8 outer + 4 inner (via birds) = 12 | Twelve-unit set (months or zodiac-style enumeration); DR(12)=3 |
| Radial dividers | 4 sectors | Quartering of the circle (seasons or directions). 12 = 4 x 3. |
| Central hub | Whirling cross | Axis and rotation marker; visually drives the four quarters. |
| Perimeter band | Continuous meander | Net or circuit that closes the cycle; reads as a counting path around the rim. |
The bowl composes a measured cosmos: a rotating hub, four seasonal gates, and twelve counted creatures within a continuous perimeter. From a Mesopotamian perspective the fish and birds are apt symbols for riverine life and annual cycles, while the quartering and the twelvefold set show a practical way to encode time on a domestic ritual object.
A segment is divided in the golden ratio when the ratio of the whole to the larger part equals the ratio of the larger part to the smaller part.
(a + b) / b = b / a = φ⇒ a<sup>2</sup> + a b − b<sup>2</sup> = 0⇒ (a/b)<sup>2</sup> + (a/b) − 1 = 0⇒ a/b = φ<sup>−1</sup> = (√5 − 1) / 2 ≈ 0.618034
⇒ φ = (1 + √5) / 2 ≈ 1.618034
Take a person of height 192.5 cm. Golden ratio partitions of the height fall at the following levels:
| Level | Centimeters |
|---|---|
| Total height (H) | 192.50 |
| Navel level (H/φ) | 118.97 |
| Solar / diaphragm region (H/φ<sup>2</sup>) | 73.53 |
| Knee region (H/φ<sup>3</sup>) | 45.44 |
| Mid shin / ankle region (H/φ<sup>4</sup>) | 28.09 |
These are guidelines; individual anatomy varies.
Enter your total height and get the corresponding landmarks based on the Rasart phi scheme (navel approx H/φ, knee approx H/φ<sup>2</sup>, fingertips (arm raised) approx 2 * H/φ). Values are shown in centimeters / millimeters and feet inches.
| Landmark | Exact (cm) | Nearest whole cm | Delta (mm) | Feet Inches |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total height (H) | — | — | — | — |
| Navel height (H/φ) | — | — | — | — |
| Knee height (H/φ<sup>2</sup>) | — | — | — | — |
| Fingertips, arm raised (2 * H/φ) | — | — | — | — |
φ = (1 + √5) / 2 ≈ 1.618033988. These are canonical guides; real anatomy varies.
The table shows the geometric progression around H by powers of phi. Positive n multiplies by phi, negative n divides by phi.
The fact that the difference between the positive and the negative root is minus 1 has a curious meaning. For a rectangle with length 1.618... and width 1: if you place a square along the length with a side equal to the width, the remaining rectangle has the same proportions (length 1.618... and width 1), repeating ad infinitum.
"Infinitely small" (No-thing) and "infinitely large" (All) coincide by the chosen identification on scale.
Precession (big picture): Earth’s spin axis slowly traces a cone because the Sun and Moon torque the equatorial bulge. Rate ≈ 50.3″/year → one full cycle in ~25,772 years (often rounded to 25,920 ≈ 1° per 72 years). The equinox points drift westward along the ecliptic, so the background zodiac constellations behind the equinoxes/solstices change over millennia.
Let latitude be φ; Earth’s axial tilt (obliquity) ≈ 23.44°.
| Event | Solar declination δ | Sunrise (N hemi) | Day length | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March & September Equinox | 0° | Due East; sets due West | ≈ 12 h / 12 h | “Equal night” (small variations from refraction/latitude) |
| June (Summer) Solstice | +23.44° | North–East; sets North–West | Longest day | Tropic of Cancer overhead Sun; midnight sun above Arctic Circle |
| December (Winter) Solstice | −23.44° | South–East; sets South–West | Shortest day | Polar night above Arctic Circle |
Azimuth A measured from North (East = 90°). At δ = 0° (equinox), A = 90° (due East). Positive δ (summer) shifts sunrise north of East; negative δ (winter) shifts it south of East.
Azimuth is measured from North, clockwise. East = 90°. Dates shown are for 2025.
| Event | Date (2025) | Solar declination | Sunrise azimuth | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| June (Summer) Solstice | Jun 21 | +23.44° | -- | -- |
| March Equinox | Mar 20 | 0° | -- | -- |
| September Equinox | Sep 22 | 0° | -- | -- |
| December (Winter) Solstice | Dec 21 | −23.44° | -- | -- |
We use cos A = sin δ / cos φ, where A is azimuth from North, δ is solar declination, and φ is latitude. If |sin δ/cos φ| > 1, sunrise does not occur (midnight sun or polar night).

Visual and audio deepening of the Basecalc themes: 432 Hz, root-9 patterns, sacred geometry, cymatics and solar motion.
Three cultures use a very similar graphic recipe to signal life: a loop above a crossbar on a vertical stem. This look-alike outcome can arise in two ways: 1) convergent design from shared human metaphors (head, arms, spine; or bud on a stem crossing the ground line), and 2) cultural transmission along trade routes in parts of the Old World. For the New World case (Hopi), mainstream history sees independent invention; for Egypt and East Asia some long-range style echo is possible, but the forms also make sense as separate solutions to the same idea.
| Culture | Name / family | Plain meaning | Form logic | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hopi | Lifepath / emergence motif | Life, journey, emergence | Loop as head or seed; vertical path; cross-step marks for walked world | Petroglyph tradition of the American Southwest; not a phonetic script |
| Egypt | Ankh | Life, vitality | Head loop over staff and crossbar; also read as a strap or knot | Part of a full hieroglyphic system with known phonetic values |
| Japan / China | Life character lineage (Chinese "sheng", Japanese "sei") | Life, to grow, living | Ancient graph shows a sprout rising through a ground line; later scripts keep the schema | East Asian writing family; independent of Egyptian script |
The shared loop + cross + stem layout compresses a stable triad: head or bud (loop), world line (crossbar), and life axis (vertical). It naturally supports quartering and directional ideas used across base-6, base-12, and base-60 schemes. Similar shapes do not automatically prove direct contact; they do show how a small set of strokes and universal metaphors guide symbol design across distant cultures.
The Christian cross uses the same orthogonal skeleton as the looped life signs (ankh and related forms) - it is the same figure without the loop on top. Reduced to its essence, the symbol is a T (the Tau cross): a vertical axis meeting a horizontal axis at right angles. In universal geometric terms this is the point where two ways intersect - the upright (axis, ascent) and the horizon (world line, spread).
The orthogonal cross/T and the looped-top variant speak the same geometric language: vertical axis, horizontal world line, and optional loop. Over time, cultural meanings diverged, but the underlying construction - axes meeting at right angles, sometimes crowned with a loop - remains constant and readable without words.
It is minimal geometry that anyone can read without words: a boundary (circle), orientation (cross), and fourfold balance (dots). It scales from calendar and compass to village plan and moral teaching, which is why it appears in pottery, textiles, flags, plazas, and ritual diagrams across cultures and into the present.
