| I wrote a short paper analyzing the Mayan Tzolkin calendar as a 260-element cyclic system using affine maps over ( \mathbb{Z}_{260} ), involutions, a Klein four-group action, and a non-abelian extension. The main result is mathematical, but I think there may be a connection to equivariant machine learning: the induced 4-element orbits (“Harmonic Quads”) seem like a natural basis for weight-sharing, and the larger operator group may offer a useful inductive bias for architectures on small structured discrete domains. I’m posting here mainly to ask:
