B3.0 Second Quantitative Analysis Attempt

      The second analysis attempt in some sense assumes a philosophy for planetary complex opposite from that taken in the first approach. In the first approach the method of handling the concept of the planetary complex had complexes coming into manifestation as OV (orb variable) increased from a starting value of 0°. At OV=0°, no complexes existed because no two planets were in exact aspect for any of the six major aspects. (This, of course, is not always the case. It is possible for two planets to be in exact aspect relative to some minimum measure of orb.)

      In the second attempt, each planet is treated as a complex by itself, so initially there are nine complexes, one for each planet. Then as OV is increased from a starting point of 0°, the number of complexes decrease from nine down to one. These complexes are simple-connected complexes as in the first attempt, but are referred to as Technique 2 Complexes because the number of them that manifest for any given value of OV that is less than or equal to the DOC is usually different than the number of Technique 1 Complexes. The procedure for complex formation in the second attempt gives the same degree of closure as the procedure in the first attempt, but the objective of the second procedure was to see if the shapes of the curves for OV versus number of Technique 2 complexes are significantly different for the three PHENOMENON groups. It is important to note that the sampling resolution for the second attempt was .1°. So in effect OV started at .1° and not 0°.

      Figure B-2 presents the curve of OV versus the number of Technique 2 Complexes for one of the High PHENOMENON geocentric planetary configurations.
