From 1980 through 1993 Joe Batter and i produced three more scale drawings based on
the "pyrameter", a triangle Joe found within pi, phi and the slope angle of quartz crystal
marking the angle between the base and the height of the pyramid as slightly less
than 90 degrees. All the block courses slope nearly four minutes of degree
down towards the center.

Application of the pyrameter triangle accounts for the integrity
of this ancient structure as earthquakes tend to tighten the joints.

The Astronomical Unit and the Soul of the British Foot


The AU, the mean distance from the Sun to the Earth, is the basis for measuring
long distances  within the Solar System. Joe Batter suspected it was the source of
a universal unit of measure. At the time, he was plotting Planetary mean distance
measurements from the 1979 Astronomical Ephemeris, with feet, in tenths, 1/600.

Joe first converted the A.U. into feet.
The number is usually given now in meters: 1.4959787 x 10 to the 11.

Converting to Feet by dividing meters by .3048 = 4.9080666 x 10 to the 11, feet.

Because he was working to a high degree of accuracy a remarkable order of co-incidence
occurred within the Planetary mean distance numbers. When the pattern wouldn't gel
i began to suspect the unit might not be the British foot after all.

2 to the 5th x 5 x 33 = 5280

One of the exercises Joe performed with the A.U. in feet
was to multiply it by the number 33:

A.U. = (4.9080666 x 10 to the 11) x 33 = 1.619661978 x 10 to the 13, feet.

He noticed the result is a close approximation of the Golden Section
and divided it by 1.618033988 to produce the conversion ratio:

1.619661978 / 1.618033988 = 1.001006153

Conversely, dividing the Golden Section by 33 produces the AU, though not in feet:

490,313,329,924.210560062 lix

Joe applied this "ancient" conversion to other known measurements such as the remaining
planetary mean distances, light speed and the Great Pyramid at Gizeh. The results confirm
the existence of a Planetary System of Measure based on the Golden Section and pi.

He named the System " TriTen " and the unit " lix ".

1.001006(153) feet = 1 lix

" l " is for light speed, " i " is the planetary mean distance set and " x " is for time.

This introduction reveals some of the "phi nominal" rediscoveries we've made with them.

" Circling the Square "

April 10 2020
I've been inside lix geometry nearly four decades now, with related webpages produced,
maintained and upgraded continuously since 1996. I knew the module, 73.728 lix, found
in 2008, would one day lead me out of the chambers and, in one day, it did.

Most of the focus these last number of years was assembling sister site, brainelevator.org,
merging the upper and middle chambers into one. Last week the work took a dramatic
turn when i noticed three squared dimensions of the "Hi Phive" chamber adding up
to the Pyramid base perimeter.

Join me "outside the boxes", for a brief thousand+ pace stroll around
the most well known and least understood construction project on Earth.


Every square describes three circles.
The inner one touches the sides, the outer, the corners.
The ratio between these two is the square root of 2.

The third circumference, in between the two, is the sum of the four sides of the square.
The ratio between it and the diameter of the outer circle is the square root of 8.

If your interest is piqued, step on the brainelevator for an in depth application
of lix geometry via the upper and middle chambers of the Great Pyramid at Gizeh.

 something's afoot"

Our rediscoveries of the lix unit, the scale lixcaliber, the dimensions of the chambers,
the modules and a myriad of other wonders, are the results of nearly two lifetimes of
attention to detail and accuracy. Much is owed to the master surveyors who marked
the lines before our time and more yet to Pythagoras, Euclid and their teachers.

A paper structure of equal volume could be built beside the Great Pyramid from all the
speculative works to reference its grande design. No esoteric meaning is ascribed here
to basic ratios so elegant, so profound, so legible, any interpretation i might provide
as an artist would be woefully inadequate as i am by no measure a mathematician
archaeologist, engineer or prehistorian to offer such context.

That being said, bairn of pi and phi, "lix" dimensions are eternal, here long before
the first Myths were recorded. Here well after the last ones are gone to dust.
 
In the face of resplendent measurement codes, ratios and numbers, extensive
reflection will achieve far greater insights than intensive conjecture ever has.

Embedded in the "stone hearth of phive" resides the universal scale, "lixcaliber"
not as Arthurian weapon, tool for Passion, Division and War, but as Arthurian
ideal, instrument of Reason, Unity and Understanding.

In another age people were inspired enough to strive together for a generation
to dress and seal their knowledge of "Earth Measure" inside a crystalline mountain, 481.101201415 lix high.

They clearly intended rediscovery. Whether by this era remains to be seen.
