Default The proportion of 1461 rotations to 4 orbital circuits

It is because the first annual appearance of Sirius has such a profound impact on astronomy and timekeeping that more attention should be given towards a proper explanation which distinguishes daily and orbital motions.

By a simple adjustment to anchor the Sun as stationary and central, the 'rising' of Sirius is set free to serve another and more important purpose in terms of the orbital motion of the Earth. In this respect Sirius disappears from view at twilight and then reappears months later as a dawn appearance, this entire event is strictly a property of the Earth's annual motion around the central Sun as important proof obscured presently by those who lock the stars in daily circumpolar motion and RA/Dec concerns.

One astronomer in antiquity argued that Sirius doesn't return constantly in 365 days but skips an annual first appearance after four cycles of 365 days by one day. It is this proportion that should delight those who use timekeeping for predictive purposes and those who apply themselves to structural astronomy, cause and effect or the many other areas of astronomy.
