2016 - 2017

The Oscillating Wave:

Continuation of daily observations at over 30 locations, but with greater focus on the vertical plane and measurement of wavelength and amplitude. Separation of secondary Lunar oscillations from the Solar pattern using computer spreadsheets and graphs allowing examination of alternative time periods in 3-D and 4-D.

Weekly vertical measurements taken at De6[b]-Patio throughout 2016 appeared to confirm that the Annual Oscillation pattern was a common feature of the wave in each of the four vector directions and therefore, that the 'Grid & Lattice' structure was likely to be the product of a single energy source. At De6[b]-Patio the exterior horizontal plane movement appeared to be greatest at a height of 1.50 m above ground level - oscillating (≥±1.88m) from a Winter SE 'positive' position to a Summer position of NW 'negative'. The curves depicted in the graph shown in fig. 2.55 below, were similar to those recorded along the vector in early July 2015 (refer back to figs. 2.37[a] & [b]) and were similar to the 'Interior' vertical sections recorded at Dn3-Hall & 1st Floor in the period from July'15 to Jan.'16 (refer back to fig. 2.38).

During 2016 the recording of the wave's form was overlapped by a particular phase of the Perigee/Apogee 7.3-month Lunar orbital cycle - making it a little more difficult to extricate a Lunar pattern from the Solar when using only the relatively sparse 'Weekly' analysis. However, 'Daily' observations were being made at two heights barely 2.0 m away within the house at De6[c]-Study. By combining this 'Daily' data with the 'Weekly' vertical data from De6[b]-Patio the oscillation movements during each Lunation Period could be plotted a little more confidently (see figs. 2.56[a] & [b] below).

The graphs clearly showed that a rapid vertical swing from SE to NW occurred over the Spring Equinox period and gave further hints that a New to Full Moon oscillation pattern might exist; but when viewed in isolation, it was difficult to come to any firm conclusions regarding how the movements revealed fitted in with the 'Annual Pattern'.

However, supplementary 'Exterior' ground level daily data was used from De6[a]-Lawn (the same vector but 7.0 m SW of the Patio). This location gave a slightly more detailed picture of the Lunar movement over the same period (see Fig. 2.57 below). The graph of its daily positions showed oscillations (>±1.4 m) either side of the Mean: shifting from 'Positive' SE at Full Moon Apogee, to 'Negative' NW at New Moon Perigee (07/04/16) and then switching back to SE at the following Full Moon Apogee.

A similar but smaller oscillation (>±0.78 m) had been recorded at this location during the Autumn Equinox - spanning the Full Moon Perigee on 28th Sept. 2015 - but with positions reversed i.e., the Full Moon occupied the 'Negative' NW sector (refer back to Fig.2.69). Making sense of such a reversal was difficult at the time. When expecting consistency, such a lack of it was unnerving for the observer and threw into doubt the reliability of what was being recorded. The resolution of this puzzle was still some way off.

Daily records at De6[a]-Lawn continued throughout 2016 (see fig.2.58 below), allowing comparison of the 'Exterior' oscillations here with those recorded in the 'Interior' of the building at De3-Hall in years 2015 & 2016 (see fig. 2.59). While a large 'Annual' oscillation continued to be seen at Dn3-Hall (>5.0 m), oscillations at De6[a]-Lawn were smaller (<4.5 m). However, Lunar oscillation within the building appeared to be almost non-existent, while those recorded at De6[a]-Lawn, although initially thought to be somewhat chaotic, were actually very obvious. This odd difference between 'Exterior & Interior' required further investigation.

It was conceivable that such minimal Lunar activity at De3-Hall might be a feature specific to the whole of vector Dn3 and so observations were started at Dn3-Steps, a nearby 'Exterior' segment, to test such a possibility. The 2016 results for this new location (see Figs.2.58[a] & 2.58[b] below) indicated that in an 'Exterior' setting, vector Dn3 displayed significant Lunar oscillations either side of trend line (±60 cm) similar to those recorded in the other Three Vector directions. This result led to the conclusion that 'shielding from Lunar influence must be taking place within the built mass'.

Further, during the 'Winter' of 2016 the direction of the Full Moon oscillation at Dn3-Steps, when viewed in more detail, was towards the N. East and similar to that at De6[a]-Lawn, where a Full Moon oscillation of ±75 cm was recorded in the same Eastwards 'positive' direction at the Perigee on 14th Nov. 2016 (see fig. 2.59 below).

More detailed examination of the GL data recorded at De6[a]-Lawn, spanning the year from Aug.'16 to Jul.'17, showed that in the 'Summer' period, after the Spring Equinox the Full Moon oscillated in a 'Negative' NW direction but then temporarily reversed to 'positive' SE at around Midsummer/Aphelion before returning to 'negative' NW through to the Autumn Equinox; after which the Full Moon oscillations continued to swing towards the NW. However, they reversed in the lead-up to the Full Moon perigee (14/11/16) and remained oscillating towards 'Positive' SE throughout the rest of the 'Winter' (see fig.2.60 below).  

*NOTE: At Midwinter Solstice the previous winter (2015/16) a temporary swing to Full Moon 'negative' NW had occurred for two lunations but this was not repeated in 2016/17.

Thus, while hinting of a possible annual lunar pattern within the already established solar pattern, anomalies existed which required resolution by further investigation. A comparison with ground level data from Pe3[a]-Upper Courtyard over the same period was started to see if any consistency in the Lunar pattern existed between it and De6-Lawn. The similar oscillation pattern at Pe3[a]-Upper Courtyard (see fig.2.61 below) suggested that a 'Summer' Full Moon swing towards 'negative' NW, followed by a reversal to Winter 'positive' SE, was apparently common to both locations and was therefore likely to be a regular feature at the particular height that they both occupied.

However, many inconsistencies existed. All the locations examined appeared to have a rather vague mix of similarities and contradictions in their Lunar patterns. It became clear that, if any further progress was to be made in understanding how the Lunar movements might integrate with the annual wave cycle, then vertical plane data needed to be collected on a 'day-to-day' basis rather than observed weekly. To achieve this, in August 2017, the time originally used for the collection of horizontal, ground level data was re-allocated to daily surveys in the 'Vertical Plane' at Pe3[a]-Upper Courtyard: a key location possessing a relatively level ground surface and offering the greatest opportunity to deal safely with the vertical height required.[1]

[1] In order to gain the clearest picture of the wave's form, it was desirable for the observations to span a vertical height of more than 2.5 m from the ground level: this required walking along planks set at the edge of a shallow pitched, corrugated asbestos roof.

Spanning the first four 'Winter' Lunation periods, from Mid-August to Early December 2017, the graphs of Daily Vertical Section data from Pe3[a]-Upper Courtyard, clearly showed for the first time how the wave oscillated in an 'Exterior' setting (see figs. 2.62, 2.63, 2.64, & 2.65 below). The series gave the first clear indication of what the Lunar oscillation pattern looked like during the Winter half of the year: moving in each Lunation from 'negative' West at New Moon, to 'positive' East at Full Moon. The sectional graphs confirmed the provisional data from previous years and gave three-dimensional form to the Wave in a way hitherto unseen. The graphs marked a breakthrough in the understanding of the whole form by showing that the 'Exterior' monthly Lunar oscillation pattern and the 'Interior' annual Solar oscillation pattern were indeed linked and behaved in a similar way. In addition, they also gave the strongest indication to date that the 'Wave-Form' being outlined was indeed gravitational in origin - displaying features similar to well documented tidal gravitational oscillations.

With regard to the alternative 'Magnetic Field' theory, the Magnetic Inclination across the whole site was checked in August 2017 using a 'Dip Circle' at a height of 0.75 m above ground level. External to any buildings the Magnetic Inclination was 69° - close to the expected range for this latitude. However, within the buildings, from the Workshop through to the House - West to East - the Magnetic Inclination appeared to slightly increase: ranging from 70° in the Workshop, to 75.5° in the Dining Room, and to 78.5° in the Sitting Room; while on the First Floor the inclination was 75° in Bedroom 3 and 76° in Bedroom 1. Although these differences may have related to the slope of the granite outcrop or the construction of the building, the differences seemed to have no obvious connection to the Four Vector Directions that had been recorded or the overall unified oscillation pattern of movement detected. Thus, the theory 'that the Earth's magnetic field might be the source of the stimulation' was rejected through lack of supportive evidence. There is no current scientific proof of human sensitivity to stimulation from normal Geomagnetic sources and it seemed unlikely therefore, to be a factor causing the reflex reactions. 

On the other hand, balancing reactions in response to gravitational forces are well documented by neuroscience - such reactions appeared to be the only credible explanation for the patterns being recorded.

However, several anomalies remained outstanding. When data from Pe3[a]-Upper Courtyard at GL in the Autumn 2017 was viewed in isolation (see fig. 2.67 above) and then compared to the data taken from a vertical height of 1.82 m (fig 2.66 top), it became clear that any conclusions reached about the Lunar pattern throughout the year at any of the other locations, were not likely to be strong if only 'ground level' data was used. Whenever a location was being examined, then the data from the so-called 'GL horizontal plane' always needed to be viewed in three dimensions - by making reference to the location's 'height above bedrock' and the associated wave being produced in the vertical plane; only then could one have confidence in the conclusions that might be reached.[1]

[1] Unfortunately, ill health brought a sudden stop to observations in early December 2017, midway through Lunation 1174. Physical investigations were not resumed until 2021. The intervening 3-year period was used for assessment and collation of the findings to date.
