Phoenix Clock
Flagship · Motion · Live
I built this for Jason Breshears’ Archaix research. It opens on the phoenix at full spread, then lays out every Chronicon Phoenix return as a spiral you scroll down, from the Great Flood to a live countdown to May 2040.
Same spoke, every 138 years
The spiral measures time in 138-year turns, so every Phoenix return falls on the same radial spoke: a straight line of markers from the Great Flood of 2239 BCE to the red dust of 1902. Each spoke shows its records and sources. Where the record is silent, the spoke says so.
A live countdown, not just a chart
The Clock keeps live counts to the May 2040 transit and the Nemesis X Object behind it. Scrolling takes you down the spiral toward 2040, which lights when you reach it. Any return or marker is one click away.

The 138-year spiral
Every Phoenix return lands on the same radial spoke, from the Great Flood to the May 2040 return. Chronology: Jason Breshears’ Chronicon. View the full Clock.
Automatic rotation is off because reduced motion is requested. Step through records or choose one from the list.
May 2040 · Next Phoenix return
The next return in the 138-year sequence. Countdown target: 16 May 2040, 00:00 UTC (this portfolio demo’s target, within the live site’s 15 to 16 May window).
