Comparing the farmer's cycle with that of the ocean tides.
.1 Comparing the farmer’s cycle - that I may call “fats' cycle”, or “seed cycle”, as well - with that of the ocean tides - that I may call “water cycle” - I can say that they have some peculiarities in common.
.2 The respective series have the same duration: one lunation.
.3
Also in the ocean tides we will find clues suggesting the existence of spatioles (page 5.2) and time windows, with the same mechanisms. Well, almost.
The times of the two cycles.
.4 While the time patterns of the spatioles in the ocean tides have a direct relation with the positions of the generating masses (Moon, Sun), the times of the spatioles in the fats' cycle in grains change in a mirror relation, with regard to the Moon positions.
.5 In both cycles, we consider the times during which most of the configurational reactions would take place. Thus, in the cycle of the tides, we consider the moments of their generation (water density decreasing), not those of the final consequences, the tide waves.
Times of the configurational reactions.
.6 On a given day, on a given location, the most part of configurational reactions of the two cycles – farmer’s cycle and primary manifestations of the ocean tides – occur around at the same hour.
.7 Then, in the same location, as the days go by, the event considered in the tides (water cycle) occurs later and later , while the event considered in the farmer’s cycle (fats' cycle) occurs earlier and earlier, until the two cycles meet again, approximately around the same hour, after one lunation.
A sort of mirror.
.8 In other words, the times of the two cycles develop in such a way that one appear the mirror of the other one, with regard to a common reference.
.9 If the cadence is diurnal, between two occurences of the same spatiole, in the water cycle, on the same spot, there would be on average around 1489 minutes, i.e. around 24 hours and 49 minutes.
.10 In case the cadence is diurnal, between two occurences of the same spatiole, in the fats' cycle, on the same spot, there would be on average around 1389.5 minutes, i.e. around 50.5 minutes short of 24 hours.
At specific days.
.11 The days when the two kinds of events occur, roughly at the same time, are specific days.
.12 It is when the axis Earth-Moon is parallel to a sort of a (hypothetical) local magnetic meridian, which would be the reference for a local natural clock, and which appears to regulate both the tides, and the local cycles of the seeds.
.13 The local magnetic meridian - for the time being, waiting for a better knowledge - is here postulated and used within the purpose of the present work.
