About the Project
This model took over four years to develop while balancing work and family. What started as a 3D simulation project grew into an integrated framework: a Newtonian N-body engine carrying every planet’s orbit from one cited J2000 state, and Earth’s long periods read as beats against one derived clock — the 25,771.4-year lunisolar precession period — which lengthens through geological time.
The result is an Interactive 3D Simulation, a preprint , investigation scripts, and comprehensive documentation. The framework reproduces the published observations for Earth’s precession, eccentricity, axial tilt, inclination and day/year lengths, and for the planets’ orbits. Where it departs from current consensus it does so deliberately and says so — those departures are catalogued with the tests that would settle them (Supporting Evidence).
The model looks simple — but only became simple after many attempts.

Resources
All work is openly available for non-commercial use.
| Resource | Description |
|---|---|
| 3D Simulation | Interactive 3D Solar System Simulation |
| 3D Source Code | GitHub repository for the simulation |
| Investigation Scripts | Python scripts to reproduce the model’s analyses — climate-sensitivity decompositions, resonance and libration tests, deep-time cross-checks, and the eclipse datasets behind the ΔT work. Some scripts belong to retired lines of investigation and are flagged as such in the directory’s README. |

Licensing
Software
The model, the simulation and all supporting code are released under AGPL-3.0 — free to use, study, modify and redistribute, on the condition that derivative versions stay open and attributed, including when run as a network service.
Separate commercial terms can be arranged for the model: the ESSRT formulas, the fitted anchor and its correction bases, the deep-time engine, the fitted coefficients, and services built over them. All of that is original work.
They cannot cover two parts that are not ours to relicense — the 3D simulator’s scene-graph construction, which uses an idiom inherited from The TYCHOSIUM under the GPL, and the ELP lunar evaluators, which derive from ytliu0/ElpMpp02 under GPL-3.0. Those remain AGPL-3.0 for everyone.
The distinction is between the model and one particular way of rendering it. The precession hierarchy the model computes is original; what was inherited is the plumbing that instantiates it in Three.js. Full reasoning is in NOTICE .
