The Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij (HC)
Prototype Description


Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'i (the Model) is a sound and light (sonochromatic) expression of the Mayan Sacred Calendar. It was initially inspired by José Argüelles', "The Mayan Factor: Path Beyond Technology".


Overview of The Mayan Factor...

The Mayan Factor is a significant work authored by José Argüelles, published in 1987. The book dissects the Mayan calendar to determine its broader implications for human transformation and cosmic consciousness. It introduces several key concepts:


"Key Concepts                                                            Concept Description

Human Transformation             The book suggests a significant moment of transformation is approaching.


Galactic Synchronization
          Argüelles describes a "Galactic Synchronization Beam" that can awaken consciousness.


New Cosmic Consciousness    It serves as a guide to understanding a new perspective on time and existence.

This book has been influential in the New Age movement, encouraging readers to explore their connection to the universe and the cyclical nature of time.


Core claim: The Maya encoded a "harmonic" cosmic time system; understanding it can shift human consciousness from linear, mechanistic time to cyclical, galactic-synchronized time.

Calendar focus: Argüelles centers on the Tzolk'in (260-day sacred count) and the Long Count, proposing a galactic synchronization culminating in a transformative era (he linked this to 2012 as a symbolic transition).

Key event: He helped organize the 1987 Harmonic Convergence — a worldwide meditation/ritual aimed at aligning human consciousness with planetary cycles.

Themes: Spiritual/psychic evolution, syncretism of Mesoamerican cosmology with New Age ideas, planetary healing, and the concept of "galactic timing."

Influence: Popularized Neopagan/New Age interest in the Maya and 2012, inspired festivals, artists,
and alternative archaeology circles.

Criticisms and cautions: Scholars of Mesoamerican history and archaeology generally reject Argüelles’s claims as speculative, anachronistic, and not supported by primary Maya texts or inscriptions; his work mixes modern mysticism with selective readings of Maya calendar data."

The underlying hypothesis driving this Work:

Words and symbols may be interpreted in an unlimited number of ways; scientifically, they are immeasurable. Sound and light waves transcend all such interpretations; and they are measurable. Translating the Model's 13 fundamental cycles as frequencies, (with the help of the late Dr. Barbara Hero), then synchronously sequencing the Model's primary Patterns and Its sub-Patterns enables robust empirical analysis of the book's core claim. Furthermore, it enables such analysis of the physiological, psychological, and psychic effects of using the Model's synchronized sonochromatic expressions; as well as the potential for such expressions to enable the user to establish a direct, communicative, synaptic/neural link with Source/Consciousness throughout her/his/their central nervous system.

To test my hypothesis, I've developed extended sonochromatic expressions of the Model. Having done the Work, I'll use open source LLMs to run a bevy of simulations designed to determine the scopes of Its effects.
Certainly, simply watching, or listening to it generates profound, fundamental cognitive enhancement; theoretically, in direct alignment and communication with the Flow of Source/Consciousness.



 

Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij  (Research Model V. n.1 avec Reverb)
                                                                                        00:22:35

The Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij
Research Model  V. n.1 Description


The Mayan Sacred Calendar (Model) may be regarded as a table embodying the permutations of an Universal Consciousness Code. In that context, the Code is binary, and it may be expressed in simple numeric Sequences, or in sound and/or light Sequences. The Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij (HC) is a "sonochromatic" (sound+light) expression of 8 of the HC's subSequences, synchronized.


The Model's movement is bilateral; the audio is binaural. There is guidance about that in the playback, shortly before the Synchronization Sequence begins.


The Sequence was rendered in short samples, to accommodate up to 160fps while still being discreet (completely individual). When the HC is rendered with 30%+ of a subtle reverb setting, it sounds like water; (see the Prototype for an example: https://youtu.be/l7OW8zFiBTw). Therefore, the Consumer
version of this Research Model is rendered with the sound of owing water. However, the reverb on this
(and the Consumer Model), is minimal; only enough to just barely connect the discreet soundings to each other; as the fade of one reaches the full pulse of the next, there's less than 10% of it still audible.)


If you'd like a more in-depth understanding about the HC, watch the Prototype, which has a decently long explanatory introduction,
(and a much longer Sync Sequence).

                                Some Questions to be Answered:

1) What happens in the user's brain during listening only?


2) What happens in the user's brain during watching only?


3) What happens in the user's brain experiencing
Synchronization Sequence bisensorally?

4) During the course of the Sequence, the binaural left and right channels swap sides, and
    then switch again; how is that shift represented in the user's central nervous system?

5) How does the Vagus Nerve respond to the Sequence?

6) [A] After each of the above usage modes, what happens in the user's brain when post-experiential body movement is prohibited for the duration of the Sync Sequence; and
    [B] what's the difference when intentional, bilateral movement is engaged for the duration of the Sync Sequence, (or for a minimum duration of 10 minutes, e.g. dancing, walking, yoga...)?


7) How does the user's ability to perceive non-physical reality via "the Clairs", i.e. clairvoyance, clairaudiance, clairsentience, general intuition after using the Model for 3 sessions, 1 per day, on consecutive days? After 7 days? After 13 days? After 23 days?


8) Considering the last question, are there any remarkable post-experience changes in user's DNA; after 3 days; after 7 days; after 13 days; after 23 days?


9) What other correlations are found in the user's post-experience brain state with brain states consistent with specific, strong, positive emotions, such those experienced after positive activity, e.g. having an epiphany, a sacred ritual, or ceremony, a roller coaster ride, cuddling with a pet...?

10) Is there empirical evidence that the assumed Universal Consciousness Code actually affects a synchronization of the user's consciousness with Love?; i.e. a causal alignment of the user's central nervous system with brain states consistent with feeling, and/or self-identifying as Divine Love?

11) [A] How does using the Research Model v. n.1 differ from using the Consumer Model? 
      [B] How does it differ from using the Research Model v. n.0? 
      [C] Are the differences between using
Research Model v. n.1 and Research Model v. n.0 the same as
           those between
Research Model v. n.0 and the Consumer Model?

Other than the addition of the water, the
Research Model v. n.1 and the Consumer Model Models are the same. So, if you're using this for your own cognitive enhancement, (e.g. brain fog reduction), you may find you receive more benefit by using one rather than the other.

** Either way, here are the fundamental Rules of the Road: **

 A.   Optimally, lay down on your back for 15 minutes before beginning an HC session; with your left hand just below your navel, and your right hand on your chest, above your heart. Focus only on your breathing, and breathe slowly and deeply. That act establishes heart-brain coherence; which optimizes all brain development.

B.    Listen to the playback using over the ear headphones--avoid using ear buds!!! Ear buds don't allow your brain to perceive sound beyond your ear canal, and to use this most organically, that needs to be avoided. If you only have ear buds, simply position yourself in between the external speakers, or with your laptop, or phone centered to your body.

C.    This products works by allowing your brain to learn the Sync Sequence's movement. Your brain automatically does that, thereby developing a radical boost of new synapses. Every subsequent use strengthens those synapses, which increases your ability to perceive and learn the Sequence's intricacy. Just allow your brain to do what it does--AND, remember that repetition is the key to all new personal growth, and use it every day; make it part of your routine.

    Note: The reverb on this file has been doubled (to 30%). The above file's reverb is only 15%. This file will be updated on 9/02/2026.


 

       Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij  (Consumer Model V. 2.2)

The Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij
Consumer Model V. 2.2 Description


Fundamentally, this is cognitive enhancement technology; high density, synchronized sound and light--the 13 colors being the 13 sine waves elevated 40 octaves higher. In that sense, this is also Consciousness enhancement technology; the bidirectional, bilateral, bi-dimensional [sound and light] synchronicity basically building your brain, however, (theoretically) also aligning your brain with Consciousness. The root of this technology is the Mayan Sacred Calendar.

The Mayan Sacred Calendar (Model) may be regarded as a table embodying--as the Maya say--"all permutations of the One Giver of Movement and Measure". All permutations of the Source of Time and Space; i.e. Consciousness. If that perspective is accurate, then the Model is also an Universal Consciousness Code. Functionally, the Code is binary, and it may be expressed in simple numeric Sequences, or in binaural sound and/or bidirectional, contrasting light Sequences. The Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij (HC) is a "sonochromatic" (sound+light) expression of 8 of the Model's subSequences, synchronized.

The Model's movement is bilateral. The audio is binaural. There is guidance about that in the playback, shortly before the Synchronization Sequence begins. The bidirectional movement is affected by colored spheres, Primary direction and Complementary direction being differentiated by the hues of the Complementary flow being slightly muted.

Your brain instantly perceives those differences and their relationships, learning them as it experiences them, and consequently growing as a result. The exact same thing happens when you look at rain; or lay on the ground beneath a tree in summer, looking at the tree's leaves; or look at an intricate mosaic; or watch rice being poured from a bag into a pot. The difference is the Logic of the Code; all those examples reliably stimulate new synapses (synaptogenesis), however, those generated by the Logic
embody and communicate that Logic, with direct cognitive benefit.


Rules of the Road (for all models):


A. Optimally, lay down on your back for 15 minutes before beginning an HC session; with your left hand just below your navel, and your right hand on your chest, above your heart. Focus only on your breathing, and breathe slowly and deeply. That act establishes heart-brain coherence; which optimizes all brain development.


B. Listen to the playback at comfortably low volume, using over the ear headphones--avoid using ear buds!!! Ear buds don't allow your brain to perceive sound beyond your ear canal, and to use this most organically, that needs to be avoided. If you only have ear buds, simply position yourself in between the external speakers, or with your laptop, or phone centered to your body.


C. The HC works by allowing your brain to learn the Syn Sequence's movements. Your brain automatically does that, thereby developing a radical boost of new synapses. Every subsequent use strengthens those synapses, which increases your ability to perceive and learn the Sequence's intricacy. Just allow your brain to do what it does--AND, remember that repetition is the key to all new personal growth, and use it every day; make it part of your routine.

The Unitron Hypothesis: Evidence of Harmonic Resonance Across Consciousness, Physics, and Elven Myth
    The Frequency Unifying Consciousness Theory, Quantum Physics, Biology, Ancient Mayan; Calendrology, and Elven Mythology



The intro to the HC's Research and Consumer models refers to a "Grounding Triad". The root of the triad is 23.1 Hz; derived from Dr. Donald Hoffman's confirmation of Plank time (10^-43 seconds) being the limit of Spacetime, and only Consciousness being an exponentially greater realm beyond Spacetime. When the corresponding frequency (10^43 Hertz) is reduced by nearly 140 octaves, that's the resultant tone. That discovery led to an original hypothesis that 23 Hz is an invariable constant linking all known realms of existence with Consciousness; those realms including the imaginal--specifically J.R.R. Tolkien's accounts of Middle-earth. The triad, (root-octave-Perfect Fifth) is the natural harmonic series rising from root, and it serves as a constant tonal reference to better help the brain to articulate the HC's rapid permuations.


Is it valid? That remains to be determined by the findings of scientists who choose to test the hypothesis.

Helping the Trust to Advance Sonochromatic Tzolkin Research

The primary reason the MERE Project was established as a charitable trust was to enable wealthy benefactors to fund scientific research of the sonochromatic Tzolkin. The Trust's being able to do so entirely depends on public and private donations to advance that research. With AI, we are able to directly advance it, rather than needing to secure hundreds of thousands of dollars of research funding to foot the costs of established labs doing so. Offline LLMs are required for the Trust to most robustly research the HC's properties; in collaboration with established scientists in several disciplines. Securing a laptop to most efficiently run the LLMs we have selected for our research is our top funding priority. Both the Dell XPS 16 (with
Ultra X9 Processor 388H) ($3200) and the Apple MacBook Pro (16-inch) ($3600) will handle the Trust's compute challenge for this research. The Mac will require many multiples less customization time, and they're more reliable than PCs, so that's our preference; (in our experience, Dell has been the most reliable PC, an excellent second choice). If you'd like to assist us by helping us to secure either of those computers, you may use the below button or QR code to do so.
