Mathematics and Science

Even by our present standards, Llhuroscian mathematical and scientific achievements are impressive. Unfortunately, because of ecological changes, we can neither duplicate the working conditions nor benefit from their considerable knowledge. For instance, present day archaeomagnetic data indicate that the Westward Drift of the Geomagnetic Field nullifies any use of the principles employed in the Llhuroscian solar clock. Furthermore, on certain archaeological sites such as Houndee where the unique planispheric-astrolabic torquetum was discovered, tests of thermoluminescent dosimetry of environmental radiation prove the present pollution of that site and elsewhere preclude the use of such Llhuroscian horometric data. The inaccessibility of such scientific data increases our frustration when we learn that the use of even our latest equipment in archaeomagnetic measurement and analysis-specifically, the nondestructive activation of miliprobe examination using charged particles and fast neutrons – has failed to identify the Llhuroscian metal used as the numerals in the machine.

The Solar Clock

The solar clock is a fascinating excursion into the use of interplanetary energy, being essentially a variant of a cyclic type of mechanical motion using the elastic vibrations of pure epidosite crystals whose oscillation frequencies are more sharply defined and higher than quartz crystals-some 800,000 vibrations per second. That is to say, instead of electrical gearing of any kind of cathode ray, the amplification was of hendiadysiac sympathy or episeismic contact emanating from the constellations of the southern hemisphere or, more specifically, the azimuthal use of Eridanus and Reticulum in crossing the Llhuroscian meridian tentatively identified as New Corwale.

As a matter of fact the reconstructed mechanism of this Llhuroscian clock was strikingly similar to present day use of the quartz crystal oscillator: the perforations in the radial dial of the Llhuroscian clock were coated with an alloy similar to elinvar in modulus of elasticity, an arrangement which provided a feedback from a kind of anode circuit much like an old wireless radio. Synchronized with electrical discharges alternately from Eridanus and Reticulum, the temple clock behaved like a tuned grid circuit without the necessity of a valve amplifier and was completely unaffected by either changes of temperature or barometric pressure. In short, the occasion of random error was reduced to less than one part in one trillion.

Today we must content ourselves, from the horological point of view, with random error reduction of one part in one thousand million. Ancient horometry offers few examples as bizarre as this clock that signalized the openings of the notorious sexual feasts of the Lokust sect. The erotic figures on the radial dial actually functioned as an ingenious electric gravity escapement, rocking with increasing scope at appointed times for orgiastic rituals.¹²
