Cyclic periodicities really just touch on the surface of complex systems theory, which you might want to look into.

The data that I used was rather old, and it would be much wiser to redo the analysis with newer data. However what I found was that the nearby stars nearly all lay on a grid with a 4.43 light year rhombic layout in a single plane. The rhombus is not far from square, just enough to make the opposite diagonals be close to 4/3 and 3/2 of the length of a side. These values mean that it fits many harmonics well. Note that the 4.43 light year grid compares to Dewey's 4.44 year and my 4.45 year (mainly economic) cycles periods.
I have searched my records for my old ASCII diagram of this (from 1994) without success yet. However I will keep looking.
