  1. It is the pulse of the sun. Combining all the long term cycles of the sun, 178.867624 is an average for the current pulse over 3.35 cycles from 1500 to 2099.
  2. 178.867624 is in close harmonic phase with the precessional cycle of the earth. 178.867624 is less than 180 years in the same proportion, less cyclic variance of ~0.0274%, as the precessional great year period of 25764 is less than 25920 years.
  3. If my calculation of the current seven year error in cyclic variance is correct (25764-25757 = 7; 25757=178.867624*144), it will take ~94 million years before the SSB/precession correlation error completes one cycle, assuming the current value for the constant has long term cosmic stability.
  4. I suspect that the 19.85 year Jupiter-Saturn SSB shapes marked as 1,2,3 and 4 in my chart are actually following the Jupiter-Saturn cycle of 178.7 years, and so are drifting against the solar pulse at a rate of one cycle per ~190,865 years. This calculation is easy for astronomers to check.
