Thanks,[gold] 30Apr2021 ---- <> *** Introduction*** ---- [gold] Here are some calculations on time fractal windows. This calculator uses golden ratio proportions to predict successive time windows or successive time fractals of similar probable occurrences based on either a seed time or an initial human age in decimal years. There is plenty of uncertainty about probable occurrences events after the seed time in decimal years, but the the probable occurrences are largely based on growth, accumulation, and succession following the golden ratio proportions. Not all events in time have golden ratio proportions. ---- *** Golden Ratio Constants *** ---- The golden ratio constant is '''1.6180339887'''… As used in the TCL program, the golden ratio conjugate is '''0.6180339887'''… In some Bitcoin circles, a peak is considered 1.6X and a dip is considered 0.6X. The most commonly used Fibonacci ratios as dips include the '''23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, and 78.6% shorts'''. A version of '''61.8%''' is loaded in the TCL program as the factor '''0.618...''' Not sure these Fibonacci ratios apply on all occasions, but there is considerable interest in predicting peaks and dips in Bitcoin cryptocurrency. ====== #; derivation of analyst Fibonacci constants set g_constant1 1.61803398874989484820 set result [ expr { 1./ ($g_constant1 * $g_constant1 ) }] #; result out = 2.6180339887498945 set g_constant2 1.61803398874989484820 expr { 1./ ($g_constant2 * $g_constant2 ) } #; result out = 0.38196601125010515 ====== ---- The golden time point in any duration is defined '''61.8%''' in its entire length of time. Golden time segments may defined as multiple and alternating time segments in proportion to Fibonacci series constants. An example is '''3:2:5:2''' (here, 4 time segments approximating golden ratio equivalence '''1.618:1:1.618:1'''). The reported testcase is roughly '''3:2:2:5'''. ---- **** Initial Human Testcases**** ---- Most agree that humans start puberty at 13 years old and become mature at 21 years. Enter '''13 years''' for puberty in calculator and receive rounded '''21 years''' for human maturity. The hand calculation was '''expr { (13.) * (1.618/1.) } ;# returns 21.0 years rounded'''. Refer to '''Testcases 1,2,3,4, & 7'''. ---- ---- ****Width and Height of DNA Strand **** ---- Most of the golden ratio problems I can find deal with dimensions rather than time. According to Gregg Braden in the book Fractal Time , one complete turn of a DNA strand is '''34''' angstrom units in length and 21 angstrom units wide. Enter '''21''' angstrom units for DNA width in TCL calculator and receive rounded 34 angstrom units for DNA height. Refer to Testcase 8. ---- Perhaps an algorithm for the reverse progress would be useful, Height >> Width. The TCL expression would be '''expr { 34. * ( 1/ 1.618 ) }''' or '''21.013''' angstrom units width. ---- ---- ****Life cycle of cicada insect and separate cicada species, genus Magicicada in USA **** ---- The cicada insect in the USA has a life cycle of '''17 years''', believed to be based loosely based on the solar cycle of eleven years. Enter 10 decimal years in the TCL calculator, result rounds down to 17 years. The cicada insects emerge in May of the seventeenth year, so the hand TCL expression was '''expr { 17 + 5./12 }''' as '''17.4166''' or rounded '''17.4''' decimal years. Comment that time coincidence is not proof of causation. Refer to testcase 6a and figure 8. ---- Another cicada insect species in the USA has a life cycle of 13 years, possibly an unknown factor may be involved. From the Elliot wave theory, there are other Fibonacci constants for breakpoints. Skipping a number in the Fibonacci sequence '''(55/144 and 144/55)''' produces 2 more Fibonacci breakpoint constants, ''' 38.2 percent and 261.8%'''. In this case the Fibonacci break constant 38.2% is of interest, so the hand TCL expression was '''expr { 10. * ( 1. + 100.* 38.2% ) }''' as '''expr { 10. *1.382 }''' to 13.819 or rounded '''13.8''' decimal years. In this problem, we used reverse logic or the reverse golden ratio proc. What number of years would return a life cycle of 13 years? So the hand TCL expression was ''' expr { $age_years * (1./1.618) }''' as or rounded 8 decimal years. Refer to testcase 6b. ---- Stephen Jay Gould in the book, Ever Since Darwin, reported that possible carnivorous insect predators with life cycle of '''< 2, 3, 4, & 5 > '''years might have difficulty with joint and coincident emergence with the 13 and 17 year life cycles of cicada, genus Magicicada. Gould related that 13-year and 17-year life cycles cannot be tracked by any smaller number. In further elaboration, insect predators with life cycle of '''< 2, 3, 4, & 5 > '''years could not break the larger prime number keys of the 13-year and 17-year life cycles. A predator insect with a life cycle of 5 years might have to wait for the 17 year cicada insect for the product '''expr { 5. * 17. }, 85 years'''. A predator insect with a life cycle of 5 years might have to wait for the 13 year cicada insect for the product '''expr { 5. * 17. }, 65 years'''. The life cycles of the 13 and 17 year cicada coincide in the product '''expr { 13. * 17. }, 221 years'''. A predator insect with a life cycle of 5 years might have to wait for the joint appearance year of 13 and 17 year cicada insect for the product''' expr { 5. * 221. }, 1105 years'''. However, the territories of 13 and 17 year cicada insects generally do not perfectly overlap plus the emergence year may differ of be off key or of the time cycle. ---- *** Example of Joe Blow in the Mills of Time *** ---- Lets suppose Joe Blow (not real name) was born on '''4Jul1980 (julian day 185)''' , had seed year event of parents divorce on '''15Sep1993 (julian 258)''', and graduated with BA on '''15Jun2003 (julian 166)'''. At time of parents divorce and in mortal recollection, Joe’s human age at the seed year is estimated at '''expr { 1993 + 256/364. - (1980+185/364.) }, 13.195 years'''. Joe’s reference year would be birth day as '''expr { 1980 + julian_date / days_in_year }, expr { 1980 + 185. / 364.}, rnd 1980.508 CE'''. One may load the seed year as '''13.195 years''' and reference birthday in Georgian years as '''1980.508 years'''. The calculator will generate a series of time waves or time cycles based on the golden ratio. For the case of Joe Blow, the estimated golden_time_cycle was rounded 8.155 years.The hand calculation was ''' expr { (13.195) * (1./1.618) } ;# returns 8.155 years rounded'''. The set of results in years of age was ''''''. The TCL program also rescaled the results in Georgian years also, '''< list 1980.5 1993.7 2001.9 2010.0 2018.2 2026.3 2034.5 2042.6 >'''. Refer to Testcase 12 with charts 6 & 7. ---- Simultaneous sets of Golden Waves are possible in a person's lifetime. For the case of Joe Blow, simultaneous sets of Golden Waves were gamed at 13 and 16 years of age. Subject to interpretation, a major event at 45 years of age was coincident to both sets of Golden Waves. ---- The studies on human life cycles and passages offer some validation to the time wave theory. Whether numerical coincidence or not, many authors suggest a possible '''subcycle of 7-8 years and a subcycle of 10-11 years''' in human affairs. Most agree that humans start puberty at '''13 years''' old and become mature at 21 years. Enter 13 years for puberty in calculator and receive rounded '''21 years''' for human maturity. The male is considered adult at age 21. Magazine reports that average marriage has lasted '''7 years''' over past 50 years. Women get married at average age '''27.8 years'''. Men get married at the average age of '''29.8 years'''. With the givens, the average age of divorce for the male was '''expr { 29.8 + 7. }, 36.8 years of age'''. Based on independent sources, college educated employees with Bachelor's degrees tend to make the most money in their 50s, but possible sharp declines may expected after 60 years of age. Average retirement age is 65 for men and 63 for women. Mortality was set at 73 years of age. Sequence numbers from real life apply. The list of street_life_male_avg in human age years was '''< list 0.0 13. 18. 21. 24. 29.8 36.8 43.5 55. 60. 65. 73. >'''. The list of street_life_male_avg was loaded into the program deck for ready comparison with the calculated results in years of age and rescaled in Georgian years also. ---- ====== ;# pseudocode, Equations, and Joe Blow Checklist *** set birth_year 1980.508 set seed year 13.195 set Grade_School 6 set Middle_School 2 set High_School 4 set College 4 set Graduate_School 2 set values [list 6 8 12 16 18] set street_life_male_avg [ list 0.0 13. 18. 21. 24. 29.8 36.8 43.5 55. 60. 65. 73.] ;# in human age years ====== ---- **** Starfish has 5 arms. **** ---- ---- The starfish has 5 arms and the dimensions of a pentagon in length, rather than time units. Enter '''1 inch''' for width between two arms in TCL calculator and receive rounded '''1.816 inchs''' for maximum width or length across two alternate arms. The hand calculation was expr { (1.) * (1.618/1.) } #; returns 1.618. The units cancel out in the calculator, so one may enter '''8 centimeters''' and receive proportional '''12.9 centimeters''' across 2 opposing arms, using proportional calculations with the golden mean. The hand calculation was ''' expr { (8.) * (1.618/1.) } ;# returns 12.9 centimeters rounded. Refer to Testcase 10. ---- **** Successive Fibonacci constants **** ---- This is not intended use of calculator, but the calculator can generate Successive Fibonacci sequence numbers as reals. If the entry is a Fibonacci number greater than two (2), the TCL calculator should approximate the next successive Fibonacci numbers as approximate reals, but need to round to nearest integer. The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences A000045 gives the Fibonacci numbers as follows '''0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, 514229, 832040, 1346269'''. Refer to Testcase 5a. ---- ---- *** Elliot Wave Breakpoints from Fibonacci constants *** ---- The Elliot wave analyst Fibonacci constants : '''161.8%.,61.8%, 38.2%, 23.6%, and 50.0% ''' are apparently derived from OEIS A000045 Fibonacci series, '''<3,5,8>'''. An Elliot wave is defined as two strokes, up and down. For example, an Elliot wave might have a rise (factor) of 0.618 and a fall (factor) of 0.382, where the initial position point or reference point is scaled and normalized to unity (1). If the calculator entry is a Fibonacci number greater than two (2), the TCL calculator should approximate the next successive Fibonacci numbers as reals, but need to round to nearest integer. The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences A000045 gives the Fibonacci numbers as follows '''0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, 514229, 832040, 1346269'''. ---- An interesting set of fractions for Elliot Wave Breakpoints may be developed by dividing 5 by the Integer Sequence A000045 after 3. These fractions approximate and track the powers of the golden ratio conjugate $grc**N fairly well. An example for the Elliot wave 4, ''' < expr {5./13} = 0.38461538461539 >''' approximates ''' < { $grc**2} = 0.3819660112501052 >''' . Another example for the Elliot wave 5 was '''< expr {5./21. } = 0.23809523809523808 >''' approximates '''< expr { $grc**3} = 0.23606797749978975 >'''. Another example was '''< expr {5./34. } = 0.14705882352941177 >''' '''approximates < expr { $grc**4}= 0.14589803375031551 >'''. ---- ====== ;# Use one line errorx proc to estimate percent errors in approximate Elliot Wave Breakpoints proc errorx {aa bb} {expr { $aa > $bb ?

Possibly the Elliot wave analyst Fibonacci constant of '''0.236029032 or 23.6% '''may apply. ---- *** Revolution Periods and Distance of Planets from the Sun *** ---- This is not an intended use of calculator, but the calculator can work with other consistent units like days, months and distances, simply treating the Golden Ratio constants and Fibonacci sequence numbers as reals. This paragraph largely follows the book “Harmonic Trading” by Scott M. Carney. The planet Venus has a revolution period of '''225 Earth days'''. Enter '''225 Earth days''' in the TCL calculator and receive '''364 Earth days''', the revolution period of Planet Earth. Alternate hand calculations were '''expr { 225. * 1./ 0.618 }, 364.0 days'''. Alternate calculation using the later Fibonnaci sequence numbers as reals was '''expr { 225. * 1346269. / 832040. }, 364.0 days'''. ---- The Titius–Bode law estimated rough distances in Astronomical Units (AU) of Planets from the Sun by scaling powers of 2, '''Johann Elert Bode''', pub 1772. Although much more known in modern times, an examination of the original Titius–Bode results in AU gives some fodder for the theory of the TCL calculator. For example, Titius–Bode law rated Earth as '''1 AU''' from the Sun and predicted Mars as '''1.6 AU'''. The Bode estimate for Mars was short of the true value '''1.676 AU by 4.77 percent error'''. Using hand calculations, a similar value can be ginned up from the golden ratio, expr { $golden_ratio_constant / 1. } returns '''1.618 AU''' rounded. The golden ratio method is still short of the Mars true distance by 3.6 percent error. Numerous excellent papers have used both the Fibonacci and the golden ratio constants methods to estimate planetary distances from the Sun. The Lombardi paper found the best fit to the Fibonacci constants used the scaling constant''' < K1 = 55.88 > to get E6 km ''' prediction. Both the Fibonacci and Bode sequences have unassigned slots or skips, due to the Asteriod belt(s) and possible undiscovered bodies. The Asteroid Ceres is representative of Asteroid belt here, but was not known to Bode. Also, both Neptune and Pluto not known to Bode in 1772. ---- ---- Here is an example of how the Fibonacci method might be used with ''' < K1 = 55.88 > '''. Astronomer Mary Blagg in 1913 conjectured that ''' if the transplutonian Planet X''' existed, it might be at '''~68''' AU from the Sun. The nearest Fibonacci constants are 233 and 377, and unassigned at that. Perhaps, '''expr { 0.349 * 233. } ;# 81.317 AU''' for '''Planet X'''?Th e interest in Planet X and the region of 80 AU is not original or new by any means. Schuette suggested a family of comets in the region of 80 AU aphelia, circa 1949. The perihelion of the object Sedna is around 76 AU, reported in 2004. The perihelion of the object 2012 VP is around 80 AU, reported in 2012. ---- With additional scale factors loaded in the deck, the TCL calculator could use the Fibonacci sequence to output the planetary distances in kilometers and AU. The scale factor for kilometers is 55.88 (*E6). Sample calculation for Planet X was expr { 233. * 55.88 } ;# returns rounded 13000 X 1E6 km. The scale factor for AU is expr { 19.2 / 55. } ;# ratio of Uranus returns 0.349 AU/Fi ---- ====== What would be the range window(s) for the hypothetical transplutonian planet X ? proportions 55 / 19.22 AU = X /68 au X * 19.2 = 55* 68 x = 55.* 68./19.2 expr { 55.* 68./19.2} ;# returns 194.7 as F estimate nearest Fibonacci constants are 233 and 377, and unassigned at that. expr { 233. * 55.88 } ;# returns rounded 13000 X 1E6 km expr { 377. * 55.88 } ;# returns rounded 21000 X 1E6 km expr { 19.2 / 55. } ;# ratio of Uranus returns 0.349 AU/Fi expr { 0.349 * 233. } ;# 81.317 AU for planet X? ====== ---- Here is an example of how the Fibonacci method might be used with ''' < K1 = 55.88 > '''.

However, the other textbook calculations for long term historical events used time waves of non constant duration with foreshortening factors over successive time waves. Previous authors do not use the same terms over the foreshortening factors, some report the acceleration of historical events or the quickening. Using a factor of '''e**(-C1*time)''' would shorten the successive time waves after the first calculated time cycle '''(2)''' or a selected later cycle '''(3, 4, 5 ...)''' . To an observer on the original timeline of constant golden cycles, the events might appear to accelerate during his personal timeline. There were some case histories and world events that did not quite match constant waves. But possibly a foreshortening factor or exponential decay in the time waves calculation might be a solution. Another possibility is that the foreshortening factors in the time waves have counterparts in the Elliot wave analyst Fibonacci constants : '''161.8%.,61.8%, 38.2%, 23.6%, and 50.0%'''. One might apply a list of Elliot wave breakpoints on foreshorted waves either as '''sequence < list 61.8% 38.2% 23.6% 14.6% ...>''' or ''' sequence f(n) as < list .618**1 .618**2 .618**3 .618**4 .618**5 ...>'''. Maybe numerical coincidence, but the most convincing example in the textbook of variable time cycles had successive cycle length ratios of '''< 38.98 39.130 > '''. These variable length ratios are about 2 percent difference from the Elliot wave 38.2% breakpoint. Given the typical 5% line of significance, estimating cycle wave lengths using the Elliot wave breakpoints may be a feasible study. A constant '''k1''' in exponential decay or exponential rise for the time waves was considered in the early TCL calculator versions, but the personal events over a lifetime seem to be adequate or matched well enough to a set of time waves of constant duration. ---- Bifurcation is a fork of paths in the timelines. From the standpoint of the observer on the main timeline, a bifurcation or fork may appear as a delay in time, change in time velocity or time acceleration. Based on video work of Gregg Braden. ---- The switch mode is 1 for normal time waves of constant length. The experimental switch mode is 2.3.4 etc for experimental decay of time waves. The experimental constant_k1 reduces later successive time waves after the occurrence of the first time wave. The decay factor or foreshortening factor may be set on the successive time waves, called the quickening in some quarters. But acceleration of events appears to personal history as observer on timeline. The experimental switch mode is -1, -2, -3,-4 etc for experimental rise and increasing length of successive time waves. The rise factor and extra length may be set on time waves, but deceleration of events appears to personal history as observer on timeline. The original calculator was working pretty well, so the code for initial conditions reports and experimental foreshortening of time waves were put in separate procs and hidden conditional boxes. ---- The variable_cycle proc is seven textbook stages of arithmetic boiled down into a one line TCL proc. The variable_cycle proc was written for world events and is referenced to calendar years CE. The variable_cycle proc or the "varry" command was nested several times to generate successive waves from a seed_date in calendar years. The TCL calculator may have to ''' >> exit << to clear registers''' on variable cycle test. In the plotted example below, the same seed date was used here, but ''' 2 entirely different sets''' of results were generated. The nearest analogy is the marble rolling down the side of a bowl from Galileo Galilei, circa 1564 -1642. The marble is accelerated as dropped down the side of the bowl. when the marble rolls on the flattish bottom of bowl, it will continue at a constant speed like on a level plain. But when the marble arrives at the other side of the bowl, the marble begins to climb and decelerate. As the marble continues to climb, it loses speed and constant time segments along the X axis "timeline" would appear to shorten in length. ---- Gist. The constant time wave calculations were referenced to a individual lifetime. But the variable time waves in years CE were referenced to the Mayan calendar time cycle of '''5125.0 years''' and the Earth procession cycle of '''25625.0 years'''. There are '''5''' Mayan time cycles over a procession period. The TCL expression is '''expr < 25625.0 / 5. > returns 5. time cycles'''. The year Zero is for Mayan date '''0.0.0.0.0''', which translates to August 11, 3114 BCE. So then, the start date of the Mayan calendar system for our calculations was '''3113. years BCE'''. Effectively, each variable time wave is rescaled by the fraction <.618*(($seed_date + 3113.)/5125.))>'''. The variable time wave length approaches the asymptotic near the end of the current '''Mayan time cycle, 5125. years'''. The end of the current Mayan time cycle is converted to '''2012 CE'''. ---- As an aside, the Mayan Astronomers used the Zero about '''1200''' years before common use in Europe. The Mayans used the Zero in their Mayan calendar calculations and did not have the European confusion of the original Julian calendar in lacking the year Zero. ---- *** Figure .

Sacco described some novel features of Fibonacci waves in modeling celestial mechanics. As the Fibonacci sequence progresses, the ratio values of successive Fibonacci terms oscillate or have a sine motion in reference to the asymptote value of the Golden Ratio constant. If one adds a plus or minus to the calculated ratio relative to the Golden Ratio constant, the set of Fibonacci ratios has a sine or on-off component. The set of Fibonacci ratios would look like '''< 1/1(-) 2/1(+) 3/2(-) 5/3(+) 8/5(-) 13/8(+) 21/13(-) 34/21(+) 55/34(-) 89/55(+) ... 1.618 = Golden Ratio constant >''' for increasing planetary distances in celestial mechanics. As might be expected, the sequence for the Golden Mean Conjugate is the opposite phase of the golden Mean. Returning to the TCL calculator, it should be possible to model the time waves in the TCL calculator with these oscillating Fibonacci ratios. But may have to use the complementary sequence for the Golden Ratio conjugate ('''0.618''') as '''< 1/1(+) 1/2(-) 2/3(+) 3/5(-) 5/8(+) 8/13(-) 13/21(+) 21/34(-) 34/55(+) 55/89(-) ... 0.618 = Golden Ratio conjugate >'''. Normalized, the tentative reduction factors would be '''< list 1. 0.5 0.333 0.6 0.625 0.619 0.61818 0.6179 ... Golden Ratio conjugate >''' ---- ***Fractal Limits of the simulated reality from Koch snowflake *** ---- Fractal Code of the simulated reality is similar to repetitive patters in our lives, per lecture of Gregg Braden. Repetitive patters in our lives hows fractal growth is limited. Koch snowflake. Area or growing curve of Koch snowflake has 1.6X limit. Koch snowflake has 1.6X limit to area growth of fractal pattern. First area increase of Koch snowflake is 1/3, 2nd iteration is 4/27, 3ird iteration is 16/243, 4th iteration is 64/2187. The area limit is 1.6X. Perimeter or edge of fractal simulation can change to infinite complexity. How long fractal pattern or simulation lasts? How complex edge or perimeter can become? The limiting scale of universe may called the planck length, which means there may be a limit to how large the universe may become, quoting Steven Hawking. ---- *** Test Suite on Time Fractals in Golden Ratio Proportions *** ---- The calculations of time fractals in golden ratio proportions have problems with initial conditions and observer reference issues. There are two possible methods of time fractal calculations, either the seed year as personal age or the seed year as a Gregorian calendar year. The seed age event and birthdays are different for most people in the personal age method. The optional test suite has added the calculations for a golden date from a Gregorian calendar year. ---- *** Pushbutton Operation*** For the push buttons on the TCL calculator, the recommended procedure is push testcase and fill frame, change first three entries etc, push solve, and then push report. Report allows copy and paste from console. For testcases in a computer session, the TCL calculator increments a new testcase number internally, eg. TC(1), TC(2) , TC(3) , TC(N). The testcase number is internal to the calculator and will not be printed until the report button is pushed for the current result numbers. The current result numbers will be cleared either on the next clear button or on the next solve button. ---- ---- *** Conclusions *** ---- The TCL calculator seems to be working as it stands and matches the scanty textbook examples. Additional significant figures are used to check the TCL program, not to infer the accuracy of inputs and product reports. The brokers rarely use more than 3 significant figures. This is the only internet article that carries the Elliot wave constants to 17 places, but that might be a service to a student. The calculator carries the numbers out to the TCL 8.6 maximum (17 places), but suggest there is about a 5 per cent accuracy inherent in most inputs and the probable event outputs. One relative error calculation in TCL notation was vis expr {(1 -(28.797 / 27.506))* 100. } >> 4.69 percent accuracy. ---- *** Pseudocode, Equations, and Wiki Page Checklist *** ====== #pseudocode can
