White paper reveals Stonehenge's function as an astronomical computer, suggesting new interpretations of its design and purpose.
A definitive white paper resolving the function of Stonehenge: not a temple, tomb, calendar or healing centre, but a purpose-built analog astronomical computer calibrated to latitude 51.1789N, whose 56 Aubrey holes (eclipse register), Station Stone 3-4-5 rectangle (latitude-locked lunar standstill bus), 30 sarsen uprights, 5 trilithons and 95-120Hz bluestone resonance (acoustic output interface) form one integrated machine encoding phi, pi and the golden angle (137.5077 degrees). The paper resolves every anomaly raised by modern AI 3D-scan analyses, explains the decline in construction precision as the operator-to-ritualist knowledge decay of a maintained machine, and closes with five falsifiable predictions concerning unexcavated features.
