Babylonian Fractions Clarified: Distinguishing *igi-n-gál* from *igi-te-en* — E8 Intelligence Research

FINDING: The only mathematically substantive item is the Babylonian/Sumerian fraction terminology paper (arXiv:1207.2170v1), which clarifies the distinction between *igi-n-gál* (reciprocal of n) and *igi-te-en* (a proportion). The video titles on "Sumerian star maps" and "Stargate physics" are unverifiable pop-science or fiction; no equations or constants are extractable from them. | MATH: *igi-n-gál* = 1/n (reciprocal). *igi-te-en* = proportional ratio (likely of form a/b, not necessarily reciprocal). In base-60 (sexagesimal), reciprocals of regular numbers (2,3,5, and their products) terminate exactly — e.g., 1/2 = 0;30, 1/3 = 0;20, 1/5 = 0;12, 1/60 = 0;01. No new constants or equations beyond this classical result. | CONNECTION: Base-60 directly links to the sexagesimal circle (360°) and to the regular number lattice — the set {2^a·3^b·5^c} which forms a dense multiplicative subgroup of the rationals. This lattice is related to the crystallographic root system of A₂ (hexagonal) via Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK. Part of the E8 Intelligence Research series.
