This is the sixth of the thirteen numbers, or tones, that combine with the twenty day signs to build the 260-day Tzolk'in. In living Maya daykeeping the coefficient is simply the number six, waqib', falling near the middle of the thirteen-day trecena, a point of flow and steadiness. The name recorded here, Rhythmic, and its keyword of balance and equality belong to the modern Dreamspell system of Jose Arguelles, a New Age framework from the 1980s distinct from traditional Maya practice; the daykeepers of highland Guatemala reckon by the number itself, not by these invented names. The authentic element is the coefficient six and its place in the pairing of thirteen numbers with twenty day signs that generates the 260 distinct days of the sacred count.
The sixth of the thirteen numbers that combine with the twenty day signs to generate the Tzolk'in's 260-day count, marking the sixth day of its trecena, past the midpoint of the thirteen-day cycle and moving toward its later days. Contemporary K'iche' daykeepers, the ajq'ijab' of highland Guatemala, read the trecena as a whole, not just its individual days in isolation, when interpreting a person's birth date or performing a ceremony, since the number and the day sign together, and the day's position within its own thirteen-day trecena, all contribute to the traditional reading rather than the number carrying a fixed meaning independent of context.
