13 Numbers & Tones
"The Octaves of Time"
The musical TONE correlation to the 13 Maya Numbers.
NOTE: In 1987, the late Dr. Jose Argüelles published his book MAYAN FACTOR: PATH BEYOND TECHNOLOGY. It seems the majority of people online are using his calendar boardgame *Dreamspell to help understand the MayanCalendar, so I made a decision to use his day-sign "names" and many of the "keywords" to describe the 20 day-signs. But chose not to use his "names" for the 13 Tone numbers because Jose provided no research to back it up.
I found it much easier to understand the "meaning" of the 13 numbers by using Numerology.

One day in 1997, I began to color in the 20-day Month rows of the 260-day grid map that had the five 52-day shift points, red weeks with red day-signs week-day 1, when a new 52-day cycles begins.
I immediately noticed that a black and white pattern on the left side column looked familar.
So, I turned the 260-day Map chart sideways...and saw the piano keyboard!
