Stonehenge phase 3 : Features which may not be broadly known.

If two of the the 5:12:13 triangles which make up the station stone rectangle were copied and these copies rotated and positioned so that their short sides lie on the southwest face of the rectangle, and there expanded so that together they equal its length, the far corners of these triangles will be tangent to the heel stone . This is shown in purple in the above figure.

Though the possibility of coincidence should be taken seriously, if the southeast side of the station stone rectangle is made longer/shorter at its eastern end by the sidereal/synodic ratio, and lines are drawn from these ends across the field to the westernmost corner of the rectangle, they will frame a half-width upright in the main ring well . This is shown in pink in the above figure.

The main ring has an inner to outer face radial ratio (from center) which closely matches the lunar sidereal, (orbital period), to synodic, (phase period), ratio ; (1.08089 to five places, which is fairly close to 14:13) . This is shown in blue in the above figure .

Thoughts on rhythms : Although i imagine that loud monorhythms can induce certain wave patterns within the brains of listeners, leading to an altered state, i find them overbearing ; and wonder if quiet polyrhythms might not produce a better 'zone' . A 14:13 'lunar' polyrhythm would be very difficult to master, but i see little reason beyond that why it would not have been played if rhythm itself was involved . If so, and if the ratio shown in blue was intentional as i understand it, this should have been a place where it was heard . The figure below provides a (visual) look at it in its natural (non-integer) ratio . One can see that polyrhythms come in and out of phase, providing (i would think) more dimensionality to whatever mind-state was achieved.
