Biology


Human beings have 52 teeth. 20 baby teeth and 32 permanent teeth. Even our teeth correspond to time! There are of course 52 weeks in a year. Most children lose their last baby tooth by age 12, with girls typically losing their last baby tooth by age 10 and boys by age 13 at the latest. By age 13, most children should have a full set of permanent adult teeth.

Alright so in many cultures a person is responsible for their actions by age 13. I'm studying the relationship between time and the development of the human body. There are 13 weeks in a season. I like to measure larger chunks of time in periods of 7. I entertained the idea that maybe for human biology 13 is a better number. Ok what happens at age 26? Well the prefrontal cortex is fully developed at 25. I'm wondering if that number is rounded down. What happens at 39? Peak bone density is mid to late 30's. Also this is when muscle loss occurs. People argue at what age is considered old. I googled what happens at 52. To me that is the official age of being considered old. I don't know why that word triggers insecurities. When I turn 52 I'M OLD no matter what my health condition may be. In GPC all time periods are definite and clearly defined. 

In keeping with GPC tradition of using the NATO Alphabet we will say Bravo instead of Body or Biology as designations for periods in the human life cycle.

In GPC young is anything Bravo 4 and prior and old is anything after. A man is in his physical prime early in Bravo 3. Later in Bravo 3 men reach their emotional prime. After Bravo 4 how long a person lives is a culmination of personal choices.

Each Bravo Cycle of 13 years contains 676 weeks. 13x52=676. Interestingly this Palidrome is the 26th square number which is significant because this is the start of a human beings biological prime. I love how everything fits together so neatly.

Only the Bravo Cycles make sense of human biology. Decades and Sabbaticals just do not work.

Nature

So the Bravo cycle is only found in nature with the 
Periodical cicadas
. These insects found in North America emerge once every 13 years. Another species with a longer life cycle is the 17-year cicada. Both species are known for their remarkable precision in emerging at specific intervals, a phenomenon that appears to coincide with human aging. You can maintain bone density as you get older with resistance training and Bio Tech Millionaire Bryan Johnson certainly believes he can slow his biological age clock. I have met people who swore to me that their Prime was actually in their mid 40's. In Chinese tradition, the cicada symbolizes rebirth and immortality. This theme of comparing cicadas to human aging and immortality is also present in Greek culture in the Homeric Hymn to Aphrodite. Wow. It's like impossible to be original I guess.

We'll call the lucky people with a 4 year slower biological age clock the Charlie Cycle after cicada because why not? So we got Sabbaticals, the Bravo Cycle and the Charlie Cycle. Wow, all cycles recognized and useful to GPC are prime numbers! 

I typed in the Juliet cycle which is prime number 11 for people that abuse their bodies and the numbers don't compound fast enough so I'm not including it.
