Recurrence — how often אפקה reads

◆ 56 years between the rare alignments that make אפקה legible — the significant stellar reading, recurring over years→centuries with no fixed cadence. It also reads on ordinary days (55 of 365 days · gap 1–138 d · ~every 7 d).

Required sign(s) / simple(s)	Pisces / Aries · ק ה · mother א
Rare alignments read at	314 of 12505 (maxInSign 5/6/7, across 22,000 yr)
Years	19877 BCE · 19866 BCE · 19819 BCE · 19748 BCE · 19746 BCE · 19689 BCE · 19687 BCE · 19640 BCE … 1928 CE · 1940 CE · 1998 CE · 2199 CE (314 total)
Gap between alignments	0–378 yr · median 56 yr
Nearest to 8 Aug 2026	1998 CE (28 yr ago) · next 2199 CE (in 173 yr)
Ordinary-day cadence	55 of 365 days · gap 1–138 d · ~every 7 d

The alignment gap is the rare, significant reading — the stellar-recurrence "frequency constant": a one-simple word reads at most alignments (short gap, e.g. every few years); a multi-simple word reads only when all its signs coincide (long gap). The ordinary-day cadence is the noise floor every word also sits on (when any planet transits its sign). Planet periods are stable, so the everyday cadence is the same in any year.
