This question of mechanism is the nub of the scientific potential of this theory. I will try to describe a plausible temporal wave mechanism, ie one that is physically possible. My explanation remains wanting in regard to the apparent power gap between described forces and claimed effects, so I can’t say that I have proved that ages have effects in history. My expectation is that harmonic theory will provide a mechanism, whereby tiny regular causes cumulate to produced big regular effects.

The wave function of precession is depicted at http://www.bautforum.com/attachments...iptic-wave.jpg , showing our terrestrial path against the zodiac in wave form. Our planet follows this path with two wavelengths, one cycle per year produced by the earth’s annual orbit, and -1 cycle per 25764 years produced by precession of the equinox. These cycles, with the day, are the main natural temporal structures for the earth, and can be analysed to determine their possible harmonic interactions.

Imagining the annual cycle as a clock face, there are four turning points, the solstices and equinoxes, at the four cardinal points of the clock. These four points produce a further eight main harmonic points evenly spaced at the remaining eight hours of the clock, physically marking the cusps of the twelve signs of the tropical zodiac. This is a piece of physics which underpins a working mechanism for effects of precession. If the year is depicted as a sine wave with solstices and equinoxes as turning points, we can use harmonic theory to posit waves at every whole multiple frequency, just as musical notes produce harmonics from notes of multiple frequency. The combination of waves with frequency double, triple and quadruple the annual wave function produces the twelve cusps of the signs, as per my diagrams at http://www.bautforum.com/attachments...anet-waves.jpg and http://www.bautforum.com/attachments...sine-waves.jpg .

If a clockface above the north pole is set to mark twelve hours per great year, recording the wobble of the earth’s axis by the position of the hour hand, each hour will record an age and each five minutes will measure a cycle of the solar system barycenter, with the hands spinning very slowly anticlockwise at a rate of one minute every ~35.8 years. (This minute period is very close to the Saturn-Neptune cycle, a main contributor to the barycentric pattern.) Within the mechanism of the clock we can picture another much faster wave cycle, perhaps analogous to a quartz crystal in a watch, marking the year. If this faster cycle produced hands on the clock they would spin clockwise at twelve hours for each 1.7 seconds of the other hands. Not exactly a thousand years as a day, but you get the picture.

The mechanism question requires that these two wave lengths interact in some way, with a harmonic resonance causing points in the slower cycle (Great Year) to reflect the quality of the same point in the faster cycle (Year), perhaps as something like a standing wave. If the precession does produce such a standing temporal wave as the framework for terrestrial time, it should be apparent in events occurring at the same point in different cycles, ie separated by ~2147 years. Given that the effect is hitherto sub-measurable, it makes sense initially to look for it in the biggest events of history, world shaping events such as the emergence of empires and dynasties, as discussed here.

As well as the intrinsic interest of finding cosmic cycles in history, two other reasons to persist with the question of a possible mechanism are that the theory of gravity also has issues with mechanism, and that our DNA has long strings of bases, more than 80% of the total, whose function is not known. Regarding gravity, the inverse square law is a description of observation, not a theory of mechanism. Hence it is scientifically legitimate to develop a mathematics of description as a step towards a mathematics of causation. Regarding DNA, it seems more plausible that the big stretches of our chromosomes with no apparent function are more likely to be for something we don’t understand than for nothing at all. My supposition is that one possible purpose of unknown DNA is as part of a cosmic regulator, linking our biology to long deep slow patterns of the cosmos, such as precession of the equinox.
