Universal Prism — Location Comparison

The Universal Prism applies to any rotating sphere orbiting any hydrogen-fusing star with biological observers carrying circadian rhythms. Mars satisfies all four conditions. The architecture is identical to Earth’s. The planet provides its own numbers: 49-sol months instead of 28 days — 14 months instead of 13 — Zola at month 8 instead of month 7 — S₀ = 590 W/m² instead of 1361 W/m² — axial tilt 25.19° instead of 23.44°. One more month because Mars is one planet further from the sun. The geometry does not stop at the edge of the Earth. Neither does the Series.
