universal calendar #5777 idealized lunation

1.5: summary:
. part of my logging routine involves
copying a template of month folders
that contain files for each annual date:
each file in a month folder
starts with a date and some event's name,
such as: sched/12 dec/25 christmas.txt .
. ever since hearing about the prophesies of
Hebrew year 5777 (2016.fall ... 2017.fall)
I have been interested in Jewish and Islamic events;
so, I was looking for a way to add them
to my year's logging template .
. the jewish calendar is lunisolar,
and the islamic calendar is lunar,
so while their events are on
a particular monthly date,
their months are shifting around
within the calendar that modernity uses,
therefore,
I devised an idealized lunation system,
that assigns their months to particular days,
aligned with the equinoxes of the year 5777 .
. also, there are many usa calendar events
that are shifting their date annually
because they are defined as being on
something like the 1st monday of a month;
so, in order to fix a date for these,
I had to choose a particular year,
and, again, the year I chose was 5777 .

/universal calendar #5777 idealized lunation:

the Jewish LuniSolar Seasonal Calender:
. a lunar calendar defines a month as
starting at the beginning of a new moon,
and all Jewish holidays fall upon
particular days of such months .
. the solar year has more than 12 lunar months
so without a leap month occasionally inserted,
a particular month would not remain within
any particular season of the year;
thus the calender occasionally has 13 months
to ensure passover remains the spring,
and sukkot happens in the fall, etc .
. new years start on the fall equinox;
although the first month of a calender
starts at the spring equinox .

. the key to idealizing the Islamic calender
is assuming it's based on the Jewish calender,
and seeing that the Islamic month "Rabi'al-awwal"
means "month of spring"; hence, the 12 months of Islam
when converted to idealized lunations
should see Ramadan as starting on the fall equinox .

. if you were to idealize lunar time
for fixed JudeoIslamic dating,
12 lunar months would fit exactly
in a solar year (6 between each equinox);
and, new moons would be aligned with
the fall and spring equinoxes .

. of course, part of the magic of
the lunar or lunisolar calenders
of the semitic religions, Islam and Judaism,
is that one cannot ordinarily predict
some of the appointed times;
so a system of idealized lunations
is simply a study aid, not a practical calendar .
. then again,
bible values were basically practical,
and the primary value of a lunar calendar
is an enhanced ability to synchronize activities
without having to count all the days .
. we can do that without the moon now,
so there is one less religious reason for
continuing to support a lunar calender;
however, a lunisolar calender is still needed in order to
fulfill the few prophesies that remain until 5777 ; [6.29, 7.5:
moreover, phases of the moon have a major influence
on our hormones, emotions, and our luck .]
and don't forget the evolution value:
. the math for predicting lunar cycles is very complicated,
and those who could predict them
might have a military or social advantage,
and thus an evolutionary advantage .

. our idealized lunations calender
has the months shifted so that
they are aligned with the equinoxes;
to assist in the mapping between the dates
of the modern calender and the Jewish,
we will use nasa.gov's julian calender table,
to convert month-day to year day, and back;
eg, december 31 is on day 365 .

equinoxes in Israel (UT+3) on 5777:

# fall equinox 2016: sept 22 (14:21+3)
. given time (14:21+3),
fraction of day (17+ 21/60)/24 = 0.7229;
fall's equinox is on day 265.7229 .

# spring equinox 2017: mar 20 (15:27+3)
. given time 15:27+3,
fraction of day (18+ 27/60)/24 = 0.76875;
spring's equinox is on day 79.76875 .

. if spring is day 79.76875
and fall is day 265.7229
then there are (265.7229 - 79.76875)/ 6 =
30.99236 days per month in mar...aug;
and there are (79.76875 + 365 -265.7229)/6 =
29.841 days per month in sept..feb .

starts of ideal lunar months for 5777:

2016 fall equinox -- first day of 5777
#1 = fall equinox = day 265.7229 = sept 22
#2 = 265.7229 + 29.841 = 295.5639 = oct 22
#3 = 295.5639 + 29.841 = 325.4049 = nov 21
#4 = 325.4049 + 29.841 = 355.2459 = dec 21
#5 = (355.2459 + 29.841)-365 = 20.0869 = jan 20
#6 = (385.0869 + 29.841)-365 = 49.9279 = feb 18

2017 spring:
#1 = spring equinox = day 79.76875 = mar 20
#2 = 79.76875 + 30.99236 = 110.76111 = apr 20
#3 = 110.76111 + 30.99236 = 141.75347 = may 21
#4 = 141.75347+ 30.99236 = 172.74583 = jun 21
#5 = 172.74583 + 30.99236 = 203.73819 = jul 22
#6 = 203.73819 + 30.99236 = 234.73055 = aug 22

first day of spring getting earlier:
http://m.space.com/20279-spring-begins-early-2013.html
. did you know that during the 20th century,
the vernal equinox landed on March 21
only 36 out of 100 years?
And from 1981 to 2102,
spring will be no later than March 20?
-- March 21 is the exception rather than the rule.
In 2016, those living in Alaska, Hawaii and the
Pacific, Mountain and Central time zones
will see spring begin even earlier:
on March 19.
And in 2020, it will start on March 19
for the entire United States .
