It seemed appropriate that Timewave 2012 should include a Mayan calendar conversion tool, so I decided to build one. In researching for this project I found that the presentation of the calendar in modern interpretations only considers five cycles within the long count: kin (1 day), winal (18 days), tun (360 days), katun (7200 days), and baktun (144,000 days). Digging a bit deeper this is not the full extent of the calendar. Some monuments have much larger dates including one at Coba which has a long count containing 19 places. This would move the scope of the calendar well beyond the billions of years scientists claim to be the age of the universe. |

This calculator displays a plot of novelty over a given timespan. It takes as input a beginning date, an ending date, and a target date. The plot's domain extends from the beginning date to the ending date; the target date is marked on the plot and the novelty scores for the target are displayed on the left for each number set selected. The number sets are derived from one of three sources: the King Wen sequence of the I-Ching, the Huang-Ti sequence of the I-Ching, and Ben Franklin's magic square. |
