** Your general comment to this point **
** Why did you observe only certain time intervals? **
I believe that I should have some consistency to my timing since I play guitar rhythm is very important in tiing.
** What did you see when you looked at the differences between time successive time intervals? **
I believe that it is showing the difference in intervals.
The second one subtracting the first and so on
** Your time intervals for 7 complete breaths: **
1.281006
4.468018
8.139893
11.23389
15.07788
18.45288
22.70288
26.03101
30.03101
33.2959
These are clock times, not time intervals.
** Your general comment to this point: **
** Why did you rarely, if ever, observe that same time interval twice? **
Because the body is a timed organism and works to a rhythm.
** Do you think this program is accurate to .1 or .01 ... **
d. The TIMER program is capable of determining the time between two events accurately to within about .0001 second.
** Copy of a few lines of your spreadsheet from the TIMER program. **
