The next sequence continues with table 44 brown , followed by table 43 overflowing the boundaries to the right and ending with table 42 in blue. This would complete a count cycle in 4 sub-cycles, each with six 8 interval steps separated by an interval of It appears that the same 8-year pattern, when unit of measure is a day, can be completed when the interval unit of the measure is a year.

Step 3 There is also another way to organize the 13x20 matrix. I used a grid, which is a familiar form widely applied in Mesoamerica. It also happened to match the first generation of the von Koch fractal square. Table 3 pictures on the right demonstrate that the matrix with the signs perimeter and numbers area map onto that grid.
