Revelations — the constants across all cultures (§15c, §9.6)
Revelation = the cross-cultural register: every tradition that independently carries the system's constants (gematria, prophecies, cosmology). No cultural borrowing is claimed — only independent corroboration. Class tags: (a) verifiable astronomy · (b) eschatological/prophecy · (c) cosmological-doctrine · (u) unverified.
Cross-cultural numeric summary — project constants vs. the corpora
| Constant | Meaning | Where attested | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | 7 planets / powers / heavens | Hebrew · Gnostic · Sufi · Vedic · Egyptian | (a) |
| 12 | 12 signs / authorities / ages | Hebrew · Gnostic · Sufi · Vedic | (a) |
| 28 | 28 lunar mansions / letters / vertebrae | Sufi · Vedic · Chinese | (a) |
| 72 | 72 nations / languages / Yasna ch. / precessional ° | Hebrew · Gnostic · Egyptian · Avestan | (a)/(c) |
| 360 | 360° / 360 powers / 360 veins / spokes / days | Hebrew · Gnostic · Sufi · Egyptian · Vedic | (a) |
| 720 | 720 = 360×2 (year-wheel sons, days + nights) | Vedic (RV 1.164.11) | (a) |
| 365 | 365 days / angels | Hebrew · Gnostic · Egyptian | (a) |
| 14 | 14 luminous/dark · 13+1 voices | Gnostic · Sufi | (c) |
| 19 | Metonic 19 yr · 19 keepers of Hell | Hebrew · Chinese · Greco-Babylonian · Quran | (a)/(b) |
| 22 | 22 Hebrew letters (Sefer Yetzirah) | Hebrew only — NOT cross-cultural | (c) |
| 37 / 73 | Gen 1:1 · 73×5=365 civil | Hebrew only — NOT cross-cultural | (c) |
| 144 / 144000 | (zodiac)² / sealed / Long-Count unit | Hebrew-Christian · Maya | (c) |
| 1260 / 42 mo | half-heptad · beast domain | Hebrew-Christian only | (c) |
Load-bearing for accuracy: 22, 37, 73, 144, 1260, 42 months are NOT securely attested in either Nag Hammadi or pre-1500 Sufi sources — they are Hebrew/Sefer Yetzirah (22) or Revelation (144, 1260, 42) constants. The citable cross-cultural overlaps concentrate on 7, 12, 28, 72, 360, 365, 14.

Indian / Vedic — the year-wheel, 7 metres, 27 nakshatras
The Ṛg Veda Samhita (c. 1500–1000 BCE) is the oldest text here and carries the system's constants in its own idiom: a 12-spoked / 360-spoke year-wheel, 720 sons, 7 metres, the 7 horses of Sūrya, and the 27/28 nakshatras. Mined from the Griffith translation (source copies in
library/rig-veda/).Ṛg Veda 1.164 — the riddle of the year-wheel (strongest Vedic overlap)
| Claim | Number | Note | |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Twelve are the fellies, and the wheel is single; three are the naves" | 12 / 3 | (a) | RV 1.164.48 — a wheel of 12 (the months/signs) on 3 (the mothers?), undivided. |
| "therein are set together spokes three hundred and sixty" | 360 | (a) | RV 1.164.48 — 360 spokes = the degrees/days of the year. The explicit 12×30. |
| "seven hundred Sons and twenty stand, O Agni" | 720 | (a) | RV 1.164.11 — 720 = 360×2 = days + nights = the full year of the wheel. |
| "with the syllable they form seven metres" | 7 | (a) | RV 1.164.24 — the 7 chandas (metres) of Vedic verse. |
| "the six twin pairs are called Ṛṣis… the seventh single-born" | 6+1 | (c) | RV 1.164.15 — 6 paired + 1 alone = the 7, structurally like the 7 doubles (2 tongues / 1 single). |
| "Speech hath been measured out in four divisions" | 4 | (c) | RV 1.164.45 — 3 hidden + 1 spoken = the 3 mothers + the manifest (cf. the 3 soft + 4 hard of the SY). |
| "Two Birds with fair wings… in the same tree" | 2 | (c) | RV 1.164.20 — the Self and the soul on the cosmic tree (a pan-Indo-Iranian image). |
The 7 chandas (Vedic metres) — the 7 as poetic measure
| Claim | Number | Note | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gāyatrī = 24 syllables | 24 | (a) | 3×8. The simplest metre. |
| Uṣṇih = 28 | 28 | (a) | = the lunar mansions — 28 appears as a metre. |
| Anuṣṭubh = 32 | 32 | (a) | 4×8; later the śloka of epic verse. |
| Bṛhatī = 36 | 36 | (a) | 4×9. |
| Pankti = 40 | 40 | (a) | 5×8. |
| Triṣṭubh = 44 | 44 | (a) | 4×11; the dominant metre of the Ṛg Veda. |
| Jagatī = 48 | 48 | (a) | 6×8. |
Sūrya, the Adityas, the Nasadiya
| Claim | Number | Note | |
|---|---|---|---|
| "Seven Bay Steeds harnessed to thy car" — Sūrya | 7 | (a) | RV 1.50.8 — the 7 horses of the Sun = the 7 days / 7 colours of the spectrum (traditional). |
| "Eight are the Sons of Aditi… with seven she went to meet the Gods; she cast Martanda far away" | 8 → 7+1 | (a)/(c) | RV 10.72.8–9 — 8 Adityas, 7 + the mortal Martanda (the throwaway = the material), structurally like 8 vs 7. |
| "Darkness was hidden by darkness… that One, breathing without wind, by its own impulse" | 1 | (c) | RV 10.129 (Nasadiya) — the uncreated One before being/non-being (the cosmogonic seed). |
Cosmology — nakshatras, rasis, yugas
| Claim | Number | Note | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 27 nakshatras × 13°20′ = 360° | 27 / 360 | (a) | 27 lunar mansions (or 28 with Abhijit); 27 = 22 Hebrew + 5 finals, structurally. |
| 12 rasis × 30° = 360° | 12 / 360 | (a) | the 12-sign zodiac, India receiving it from Babylonia/Greece. |
| Kali-yuga = 432,000 years | 432,000 | (c) | = 72 × 6000; 432 = 72×6 — the yuga base (cf. Berossos’s Chaldean 432,000). |
Not Rig Vedic (flagged): the 12 Adityas and 108 are later Vedic / Puranic, not Ṛg Veda Samhita. 108 = 27 nakshatras × 4 pādas (or 12 × 9) — a later sacred number, not an Ṛg Vedic constant. The Ṛg Vedic set is 7 (metres/horses), 12, 27/28, 360, 720.
