In response to your request, I am now attaching a table outlining the precessional structure of time as I understand it. This framework is based on my earlier explanations to allocate sign principles to each historic age. For example it suggests we will soon move from the precessional age of belief to an age of knowledge. My purpose in this thread has been to argue that this structure is compatible with scientifically demonstrable observations and presents a useful and meaningful way to frame terrestrial evolution. Hence over the next twelve thousand years we will go through six ages which respectively will be characterised by the principles of knowledge, use, vision, desire, balance and analysis.

Time has structures at every level, from subatomic to biological to historic to geological to cosmic. Of these, the subatomic and cosmic are scientifically precise, while the others are imprecise and derivative. My hypothesis regarding precessional cosmology claims that time exhibits resonance between ordered cosmic structures and biological and historical patterns, recognising that our environment is structured by the cyclic patterns that encompass terrestrial time. Precession of the equinox is the primary long-term pattern encompassing the earth. I argue this means precession can be understood as having a deep and subtle effect which frames the structure of time. This is a geocentric view, looking at how cosmic time might structure our DNA, unlike the cosmocentric view of modern astronomy which addresses temporal structures that are vastly bigger than anything relevant to human life.

The picture in my last post is a stylised summation of the cosmic context of human evolution. Although 2.5 million years seems a long time, it is just 0.05% of our genetic history. This precessional coil, and the much tighter annual coil, are constant features of the relation between earth and the cosmos. Both coils have the same stellar background, ie the coiled spring surrounding the evolutionary timeline has had basically the same background zodiac stars for cyclic periods of one year and 26000 years. This coil can be imagined as like a musical instrument, perhaps a didgeridoo, through which the cosmos is blowing the shape of our DNA.

I argue the possible effect of this long term pattern can be understood by direct analogy with musical harmony. Considering precession as the cosmic context of evolution as depicted, our DNA has evolved within this stable resonant space-time framework. I have previously explained why a twelve-fold division of this cycle emerges as a primary harmonic structure. Our participation in this temporal resonance is a deep and weak feature of our environment. Just as people in a cathedral resonate to the organ sound, and organisms in an ocean rock pool exhibit the same cyclic features as the tide, our DNA exhibits the same cyclic patterns as the larger cosmic environment.
