Identification of Discrete States of the Universal Period-Tripling System by Varying the Frequency of the Generator of Periodic Oscillations

Abstract

A conventional generator of periodic oscillations can be used as an amplifier of periodic noise. Sudden changes in generator frequency were observed during experiments and corresponded to so-called Arnold tongues. Arnold tongues are known to arise in a region where a periodic process is synchronized by a periodic external forcing. The experimental findings were assumed to demonstrate that the forcing actually exists; i.e., there was a periodic process that affected the generator frequency. This hidden periodic process belongs to the so-called universal period-tripling system (UPTS). The UPTS has repeatedly manifested itself on an indirect basis, by adjusting a variety of technical, astronomical, physical, geophysical, biological, etc., periodic events to forcing. The existence of the UPTS should be taken into account, in particular, when designing and debugging technical devices, including those for medical purposes.
