Introducing Tzolkin Dynamics pt 1: The Building Blocks of Synchronicity, the Cosmos, life and Human Society

The Carina Nebula

Tzolkin Dynamics is the systems architecture underpinning my work on the Art and Science of Synchronicity (ARTSOS) and the laws governing human personality and human interrelationship dynamics or the Art and Science of a Social Physics (ASSP).

ARTSOS is based upon my understanding and studies of the Tzolkin Cycle-Code or the core calendrical component of the Maya-Meso-American Calendrical (MMAC) System.

My work further elaborates, further defines, clarifies and builds upon the basic properties of the Tzolkin Cycle-Code as per the Arguellen (Dr. Jose Arguelles) interpretation of the MMAC Tzolkin

The systems architecture I speak of was developed by Dr. Jose Arguelles, author of The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology, in his “Dreamspell” account of the MMAC Tzolkin. He introduced a radical understanding of the Tzolkin along with a dating sequence that differed from the accountings of the traditional Tzolkin counts presently in use.

The situation of differing Tzolkin Cycle sequences poses one of the greatest challenges to the academic standing of MMAC, since each camp asserts that their Tzolkin sequence is the correct one.

There can be only one correct Tzolkin Cycle sequence much like there is one correct solar calendrical sequence that takes us from the winter solstice to the summer solstice with unerring precision and constancy. My work offers empirical validation of the Arguellen Account (AA) of the Tzolkin Cycle and in doing so invalidates the other Tzolkin counts.

In 1987 Arguelles was perhaps the only researcher on the subject of the Tzolkin’s truer nature and its deeper implications. MMAC researchers John Major Jenkins and Carl Johann Calleman did not show up until several years later and their work on the Tzolkin goes no where near the depth of Arguelles’s work on the subject.

My study of the available information on the subject during the 90′s years led me to conclude that Arguelles was by leaps and bounds the foremost scholar on the Tzolkin Cycle-Code. So I set out to verify his work since he had introduced his account of the Tzolkin without any empirical evidence.

What I refer to as Tzolkin Dynamics pertains specifically to the qualitative attributes Arguelles assigned to the 4 colors, 20 symbols and 13 “tones” of the Tzolkin Cycle-Code. Arguelles also worked out the color and numerical relationships shared between the three Tzolkin Cycle-Code components. The colors, symbols and tones are codes representing the elements of the three Tzolkin Cycle subcycles. Continue…
