THE RING OF FLAMES Part Seven
ADDENDUM/2In order to comprehend the significance of the 416c cycle number let us explore its relation to the 624-year value derived from the Ring of Flames.
Now, let us subtract this result from the 624c number itself:
One should note immediately that these numbers reflect the 584c and the 416c cycle:
The fractions reflect immediately that relationship in their very numbers. Furthermore, one is seeing the manner in which the reckoning systems of the 260c and the 365c count are encoded and positioned with respect to one another in the Aztec Calendar's design:
The actual counter-positioning deals with symbolic, representational numbers: 259.584/364.416 counts. Again, the counter-positioning of the two significant day-count systems falls on the day-glyph of acatl, the thirteenth one on the day-glyph ring.

THE AZTEC CALENDAR: MATH AND DESIGN In the book The Aztec Calendar: Math and Design, Charles William
Johnson examines the possible relationships between mathematics and geometry.
The historically significant numbers may reflect progressions which in
turn may be translated into geometrical figures and designs. No one knows
for certain how the Aztec Calendar may have been read or interpreted.
Its simbolic design is striking and has intrigued scholars for centuries.
The Aztec Calendar: Math and Design explores the stone's elements and
rings in relation to their spatial divisions in an attempt to discern
a possible method of computation, using the historically significant numbers
of the ancient reckoning system. The book promotes the existence of specific
mathematical posits that the geometrical spatial division of the calendar's
elements appear to obey.
