The Chase:

This Galactic Code was translated/transposed into the sound and light spectra; then 8 of its subPatterns were synchronized and documented in video. Below, you may experience the results; (model descriptions included).

Tested. Proved.



The original intent was to also allow the Trust to
sell the software to raise operations

we tried that; and

Give these Expressions of Her to everyone;

Considering the timing and the times,
"The needs of the many...". So, we've

The Hypothesis Driving This Work:


Words and symbols may be interpreted in an unlimited number of ways; scientifically, those interpretations are immeasurable, in all human languages. Sound and light waves transcend all such interpretations; and they are measurable. Translating the Model's 13 fundamental cycles as frequencies, [thanks to the invaluable * psychic * intervention of Foster Perry, and direct tutelage from the late Dr. Barbara Hero], then synchronously sequencing the Model's primary Patterns and Its sub-Patterns now enables rigorous empirical analysis of the book's core claim; (as well as those of Earth Ascending...). 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.

Certainly, simply watching, or listening to It generates profound, fundamental cognitive enhancement, as a direct result of the hyperextensive synaptic generation that doing so affects. (That claim is undeniable.) To test my hypothesis, I've developed extended sonochromatic expressions of the Model. Having done the Work, it's now Time to clinically test it; which is why the below Research Models are being made freely available to the world's scientific community.

This Ain't No Woo-Woo!


Fundamentally, these media are just basic, multi-modal pattern recognition modules. Like all such media, (be they digitized chess, Go, or long videos of huge starling flocks flying), they're simply presenting complex patterns of logic. Repeated exposure to all complex patterns reliably affects synaptic generation; which reliably increases brain capacity and capability. Basically, no biggie. The differences between them:
The Tzolk'in's logic is understood by the Maya to be The Logic; i.e. Consciousness-Sourced and Consciousness- and Cosmos-sourcing Logic. If that's the case, then it should be scientifically testable. Making testing possible is the sole purpose of this Work; however, in the process of developing it, very remarkable, anecdotal therapeutic value was discovered; e.g. audio-only thereof use prompting complete, functional, post-stroke brain healing in fewer than one hundred twenty days--(it's medically documented; however, we don't have access to that data). Metaphysically, a very small control trial found users reaching what's best described as a sustained state of Samadhi; each participant experiencing that Consciousness shift on the 21st day of a 26-day listening course they independently began on different dates. The former occurred in 2007; the latter circa 1997--the first full shebang audio translation, enabling the 2007 results. We don't think an high-velocity, overhead view of a Go marathon, or making the starlings iridescent neon would prompt either of those outcomes.
In real time synchrony, these modules span 33.2 years; waiting 100 years just to perceive the most basic patterns of that synchronicity is a civilization thing; not a contemporary scientist thing. Compressed that harmonic time tracking into 3.5 minutes; that's doable--that's these, with six repetitions, each with unique visual configuration; enabling super-massively robust thereof scientific analysis.

Mayan science is both deeply analytical and mystical because it doesn't separate intuition from intellect the way the European scientific method proudly parades. These modules enable the psychoneuroactive properties of traditional Mayan, time-oriented, algebra-centric science and mysticism to be empirically tested. Who will test it?

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". (Although it's reputation has been slighted by some academics and Maya elders' regarding it as tantamount to "Maya-Pop", it and Dr. Arguelles first book expounding upon the Maya, "Earth Ascending: An illustrated treatise on the law governing whole systems", are very astute, logical dissections of the Tzolk'in's inner workings. Those 2 books have had the most influence in the development of this Work.)


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."

       Harmonic Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij Consumer (Model V. 2.2  (With water audio overlay)                     
                                                                                          00:22:22


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 microcosm [mind-soul-body] with Consciousness as it's materially aligning your central nervous system with the Flow of the Milky Way and the Cosmic Web. The root of this technology is the Mayan Sacred Calendar.

Yeah; this is DeeP. :-)

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 is a synchronized "sonochromatic" (sound+light) expression of 8 of the Model's subSequences.

The Model's movement is bilateral. The audio is binaural. There is brief 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. Comfortably low = low enough to be having a normal-volume conversation with someone as you're using it.


C. The HC works by allowing your brain to learn the Sync Sequence's movements. Your brain automatically does that, thereby developing a radical boost of new synapses. Every subsequent use strengthens them, which increases your brain's ability to integrate them into its functionality;  which, in turn, increases your ability to perceive and learn the Sequence's intricacies. (You'll get very excited when you realize that your brain's actually consciously anticipating specific progressions within the Model's movements; which begins to occur after using it for 7-9 consecutive days.) Just allow your brain to do what it does--AND, remember that repetition is the key to all new personal growth, so use it every day; make it part of your daily health routine.

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 using very short audio 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). 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.





To learn more about how this technology works, watch the introduction to the Prototype version.







You literally generate a remarkably improved version of You, with each use of any of the HC Models!

Late 1990s audio-only builds of this product proved to be consistently
effective in enabling functional mobility [e.g. van driving] during
intense Chronic Fatigue Syndrome experiences;


(when the user would have otherwise been bedridden)
.


The audio track of the HC, alone, may be very
remarkably effective in post-stroke brain restoration.
The full use of the HC may significantly accelerate that e
ffect.

How to Help the MERE Project to
Advance Sonochromatic Tzolk'in Research



The primary reason the MERE Project was established as a charitable trust
(in 1987) was to enable wealthy benefactors who are into cool developments like this to fund scientific research of the sonically translated Tzolk'in. [The sonochromatic translations crudely began 5 years later.] The Trust's being able to do so entirely depends on public and private tax-deductible 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. The Trust needs computers to use offline, multimodal LLMs to most robustly research and graph the HC's properties; beginning with addressing the above suggested research questions. That would enable the Trust to most effectively do so 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.

It is most reasonable for a politically unaffiliated AI company to fund this research. (Funding us strictly philanthropically), that would be a very solid, long range, deep dive solution for this Work. Of course, they would be openly acknowledged for their fiscal and technical involvement in all papers the Trust publishes, or co-author's about the findings of such research. (Just sayin'.) [The Trust's Bylaws prohibit it from accepting such assistance from most of the major AI players, due to their business collaborations with national governments.]

Thank you for supporting this research;
even if it's only sharing this page!














** Sonochromatic: sound+light

*** The green subPattern within the 64-unit Core subPattern is actually 2 subPatterns; a "diPattern". One is the 6 inner kin/cells on both sides of the Mystic Column.The other is the 16 kin forming the diPattern's perimeter. Visually, as they synchronize, the diPattern most resembles the movement of a dynamo.

So, What Are The Probable Therapeutic Properties of the Tzolk'in/Cholq'ij?

Aside from effects that may be specific to the Tzolk'in's Logic, It's general therapeutic effects may be on par with those of many polyphonic sound healing modalities. The delivery modes and tempos may be different, however, the underlying neurological mechanisms operate on the same principles, regardless of those differences. Since the Trust is unable to say what those effects may be, until research data is in hand, they are probably at least those of the derivative line of software I created. Let me tell you a short story.

Apparently, Divine Providence wanted the Model released at this Time; after 6 years of building a creme-de-la-creme line of Tzolk'in translations to release in mid-2018, the launch was supernaturally K-Pow!-ed; Hunab Ku (HK) shut - me - down. Having gotten the Memo, I pivoted and became a student again as HK taught me how to apply the Tzolk'in's Harmonic principles to a concentric model of the I Ching instead.

The first result of that pivot is also free. It's called, "Rebound!", and its presentation says a lot about the HC's probable therapeutic effects, based on a variety of related clinical research, (some of it above-referenced). Identical development principles; just 5 fewer tones in the mix. Click the brain to jump over there and get a better idea of the probable therapeutic findings the above research is expected to confirm--(for starters).


I got into AI in early 2025, intending to set up an offline lab to run research simulations on those HC derivatives; a workaround for the cost of having professional, or academic labs test them. A couple of months later, in June, guess Who knocked on my door, wantin' me to put that on pause and return to Tzolk'in development, so the MERE Project could release something this year.  :-|

:-D The above models are both the most powerful, most comprehensive and shortest full versions I've ever made; circa 50% shorter than the versions I was going to release in 2018, which weren't nearly as expressive. Any effort to improve them would be like over-sharpening a blade. Having had zero plans to make them in my 2026 agenda, I'm glad they're done, and I'm ready to return my attention to setting up that lab and running AI simulations on them for The MERE Project. (I'm not one to wait around for someone else to do what I'm able to do myself; unless waiting is warranted.) Must say, it would be very nice to compare my AI findings to those of actual neuroscientists and psychoneuroimmunologists analyzing them old school, with some state of the art lab equipment.

          [Who'd o' thought standard lab research would ever be called "old school".]

Thanks for visiting and supporting The MERE Project!
