Cliff & CC:
I provided my calculations on jitter/drift in a different note; and I am
choosing to reply as a New and comprehensive account of some of my
discussions that I had with Calndr-L & usma groups.
I do actually use the 128 and 26*128y cycles in tropical station calendric
arithmetic, but as for >devising a calendar based on adjustments every 128y
I find inconvenient in terms of when the >leap years occur. Just as I find
inconvenient calendars based on a 33y cycle adjustment because >invariably
the leap year adjustments are not symmetrical, and leap years again
inconvenient. For >this reason I live with the greater jitter factor of a
corrected proleptic Gregorian calendar, by >utilizing an ARTIFICIAL
CALENDAR TIME computation, which expresses this jitter in terms of time in
>hours and min referred back to a 2000 CE epoch.
Reporting results within a "strange" calendar tends to be met with
resistance amongst many >scholars, while the same results expressed within
a proleptic corrected Gregorian calendar appears >to be greeted with
greater acceptance. For that reason I have abandoned calendars with
radically >different leap year adjustment rules.
It is unfortunate that my RESULTS are not being looked from the perspective
of a 'futuristic Modified Gerororian World Calendar' the base of which dates
to my initial contributions (since 1971). I placed some of updates &
contributions at: http://www.brijvij.com/synposis-n-364d-options.doc, using
128-year cycles and 364-day FORMAT by shifting July 31st to February 29th
(during all years), and kept December 31st outside of the format to be
called 'World Peace Day'.
I have not described any STRANGE calendar, that has met the rightful
resistance since 'any change has to meet resistance'. This is why I have
ONLY modified the exixting scheme of days in Gregorian calendar RETAINING
most (perhaps ALL) needs due to which *League of Nations or United Nations*
could not get a consensus of member Nations, taking considerations for:
*No change to 7-day Sabbath cycle;
*No change to 12/24-hour clock face (extended to Dual Time scales ©¤ 24hx60m
x60s &
24hx100mdx100sd);
*No/or minimal change to Gregorian calendar format;
*No major change to mathematical/trigonometric functions; and
*To find the most easily adaptable scheme with least possible changes ¨C to
get a
surest, easiest and cheapest transitional proposal, at ¡®little or NO
cost to tax-payer¡¯.

I am NOT in agreement here. My scheme causes 'inconvinience in deciding
which years shall have the:
(a) Leap Day (placed between June 30th & July 01st) during years divisible
by 4/skip during years divisible by 128 [(y2000-80)/128 +/- 128] to get Mean
Year =365+31/128 =365.2421875 days; or
(b) Leap Week during years divisible by six(6) with some additional Keplers'
Leap Weeks following (7*128)-yrs/159 Leap Weeks; 3*896-yrs/477 LWks to get
Mean Year =[7*[(52+1/6)+29/2688] =365.2421875 days. Alternately, use
834-yrs/148 Leap weeks to get Mean Year =7*[(52+1/6 +9/834]=365.242206235012
days.

.....33y cycle adjustment.....
My pointing to 33-year cycle was an independent view thta THIS is the 'solar
cycle of 12053 days' that results in solar motion of 1.0145616379716138..89
degree per day. It is true my ideas on Time Metrication/decimalisation and
linking the New Time interval, decimal second (sd) =36% of SI-second and New
Unit for Length - Metre New (m') =1/10^5th of arcAngle (Pi/180 or 1-degree),
lead to a wanted definition for Nautical Kilometre (nkm') as a replacement
to Nautical Mile. My contributed paper in: Shelving Mile in Favour of
Nautical Kilometre; Proceedings of 3rd International Conference on
Metrology In New Millennium And Global Trade (MMGT - 2001); Document # 27;
pp.169; National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi; 2001 February 4-8, refers.
