The tonalmatl is used to represent the basic unit = 1 precessional cycle
within this there are 12 sub-units, and within the 12 sub-units, 12 base units.
each base unit can represent 1 solar age = ~2000 years
each sub-unit can represent 1 basic unit
the basic unit can therefore also represent 12 precessional cycles
the interior quadrants each represent 1 haab
1 haab = 18 times the sub-unit plus the xama kaba kin
after 4 haab and extra „day¾ is added to the xama kaba kin to signify „leap year.¾ after 4 haab, a new non-¾leap year¾ haab starts.
the 5th haab is signified by the tablet of union
the 3 sub-units per 1 haab, with 1 haab, represent an element.
the astrological sign of the haab = the sign of the element.
the order of these elements = the seasons of the sign of the element = aphelion or perihelion of earth¼s orbit
the number of base units is 144
if each base unit = ~2000 years, the tonalamatl = 288,000 years
the number of base units per haab = 228 and number of years = 456,000
the number of base units for the 5 haab = 1140
the number of years measured by the 4 haab is = 1,800,000
the number of years measured by the 5 haab is = 2,280,000
