The second page describes mathematical and esoteric system of the mega square dominoes, and also describes sequences of astrological planets which are notations of verticals and horizontals of the game board. And also describes esoteric and metaphysical system of "solar gates" which corresponds with the mathematical system of mega square dominoes and is known in the apocryphal Book of the Secrets of Enoch (also referred to as "Slavonic Enoch" or "2 Enoch").

Mathematical laws of the mega square dominoes.
Astrological planets and notations of the game board.

The mega square dominoes is mathematical system which symbolizes esoteric structures and laws existing in the world, and can be used as system of signs (symbols) for the description of the world.
One of mathematical and esoteric laws (riddles) consists that elements of the mega square dominoes can be correlated with the certain squares of the game board, and accordingly can be correlated with astrological planets which are the notation of verticals and horizontals of the game board, that is shown on charts:

dominoes correlated with squares of the game board esoteric system of elements of the mega square dominoes Arabian figures 1, 2, 3, 4 correspond to numbers of elements of the mega square dominoes, and dark color allocates squares of the game board with which elements can be correlated.
Latin letters write the reduced names of astrological planets which correspond with verticals and horizontals of the game board.

Besides the complete set of the mega square dominoes has many others mathematical and esoteric laws, and in particular:
- if to remove 6 elements which have all four colors and to leave elements which have no at least one color then number of such elements is 64 that corresponds to number of hexagrams in the canon of changes IChing;
- if to leave elements which have three colors from four then number of such elements is 36.
According to these mathematical laws there can be especial puzzles which rules consist that it is necessary to arrange 36 elements on a game board which has 6 verticals and 6 horizontals, or it is necessary to arrange 64 elements on a game board which has 8 verticals and 8 horizontals.
Especial esoteric sense of the mega square dominoes consists that elements correspond to esoteric and metaphysical structures of world around which are described in the apocryphal Book of the Secrets of Enoch. Namely the quantity of elements of the mega square dominoes and a configuration of the game board are similar to esoteric and metaphysical model of the world which is described in the Book of the Secrets of Enoch:

"The angels took Enoch and placed him in the east at the sun’s gates
1 Those men bore me away to the east, and placed me at the sun’s gates, where the sun goes forth according to the regulation of the seasons and the circuit of the months of the whole year, and the number of the hours day and night.
2 And I saw six gates open, each gate having sixty-one stadia and a quarter of one stadium, and I measured them truly, and understood their size to be so much, through which the sun goes forth, and goes to the west, and is made even, and rises throughout all the months, and turns back again from the six gates according to the succession of the seasons; thus the period of the whole year is finished after the returns of the four seasons."

The citation is taken from The Book of the Secrets of Enoch (also referred to as "Slavonic Enoch" or "2 Enoch"), but this translation inexact as in the original Slavonic (old Russian) text I have found:
"I have seen six huge gates, everyone on sixty one stages and a quarter. I carefully also have measured these gates, whence the sun leaves and where always comes back, having surrounded all ground. I also have comprehended however they are great. From the first gate the sun leaves forty two days, from the second, the third, the fourth and the fifth - thirty five, from the sixth - forty two. And after the expiration of time it again comes back through the sixth gate and enters into the fifth, the fourth, the third and the second for thirty five days. And so days of each year expire according to change of its four times."

Also there is the so-called Ethiopian version of The Book of Enoch (the Ethiopic text of The Book of Enoch) which contents considerably differs from the Slavonic version. As the Ethiopian version of Enoch describes a calendar solar cycle where year is divided into 12 periods (months) for 30 days and cardinal months have 31 day, that differs from a calendar solar cycle which consists of the 35-day and 42-day periods, and is described in the Slavonic version of The Book of Enoch.
There is ancient Egyptian sacred text "The Book of Gates" which describes 12 gates which the sun passes within night, but in essence The Egyptian Book of Gates and also "The Ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead" describe 12 night lunar gates which have other symbolical value rather than six solar gates which is described in the Slavonic version of The Book of Enoch.
Enoch is the bible character, and the name Enoch in the Bible concerns to two persons. The first person descends from Cain, and the second person descends from Seth. About the first person in the fourth chapter of the Book of Genesis it is written: "17 Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch." And about the second person in the fifth chapter of the Book of Genesis it is written: "23 Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away."
The Book of the Secrets of Enoch is Slavic translation of unknown ancient Greek book or books as affirms that Enoch has written 366 books which were dictated by the Archangel Pravuil (Vrevuil or Uriel). Namely it is possible to assume that The Book of the Secrets of Enoch is Slavic translation of the ancient Greek book as Greeks collected books of all world and translated into the Greek language, and stored books in the Alexandria library before the Alexandria library was burnt.
Undoubtedly that the metaphysical model described in the Book of Enoch is valid but not clear from the modern point of view as Enoch lived on the Earth up to the Flood, and in essence was the Atlantus, and consequently only in some modern esoteric and mystical sources of the information it is possible to see conformity with ancient model. And in particular it is possible to see conformity of the system of  "solar gates" with concepts of astrology and calendar cycles of Christian liturgical calendars about what it is told below on this page and on the following page of this site section.
Probably, books of Enoch were taken in Ark by Noah or by children of Noah, and were in part kept up to modern time.
Described in The Book of the Secrets of Enoch the metaphysical system of  solar gates corresponds with system of planets in astrology, namely the system of solar gates is similar to astrological system according to which planets operate signs of the zodiac, that is shown on the chart:

astrological planets and system of solar gates in the Book of the Secrets of Enoch As it is possible to see:
- for 1st solar gate there correspond zodiac signs Crab and Leo, and also astrological planets the Moon and the Sun;
- for 2nd solar gate there correspond zodiac signs Virgo and Gemini, and also planets Mercury and presumably Chiron;
- for 3rd solar gate there correspond zodiac signs Libra and Taurus, and also planets Venus and presumably Proserpine;
- for 4th solar gate there correspond zodiac signs Scorpio and Aries, and also planets Mars and Pluto;
- for 5th solar gate there correspond zodiac signs Sagittarius and Pisces, and also planets Jupiter and Neptune;
- for 6th solar gate there correspond zodiac signs Capricorn and Aquarius, and also planets Saturn and Uranus.

Chiron and Proserpine are disputable planets as astrologists do not have common opinion about conformity of these planets and signs of the zodiac. Therefore the planet Chiron is used for the notation of horizontals of the game board of the mega square dominoes, but also the Proserpine can be used.
The information on dominations and also about exaltations of planets in signs of the zodiac look on pages of other website: www.emotions.64g.ru/prof4/pr5en.htm
The understanding of system of astrological planets is necessary for understanding of structure of the mega square dominoes and structure of the game board as planets form the structural notation of verticals and horizontals. Namely the notation is formed with two sequences of planets.
The first sequence of planets is the notation of verticals and corresponds to days of week with which planets correspond:
SL (Sun) - Sunday;
LN (Moon) - Monday;
MA (Mars) - Tuesday;
ME (Mercury) - Wednesday;
UP (Jupiter) - Thursday;
VN (Venus) - Friday;
ST (Saturn) - Saturday.
The second sequence is the notation of horizontals and corresponds with a traditional astrological sequence of planets:
LN (Moon) - ME (Mercury) - VN (Venus) - MA (Mars) - UP (Jupiter) - ST (Saturn) - UR (Uranus) - NP (Neptune) - PL (Pluto) - XR (Chiron).
Verticals and horizontals of the game board can be named: the solar vertical, the lunar horizontal, and the like.
Verticals and horizontals of the game board of the mega square dominoes have the certain values according to values of astrological planets provided that values of planets in two sequences have different sense. Values of planets in the first sequence are connected to the esoteric Star of Magicians (the heptagonal star of Magians or the magic star) and have characteristics which are determined by the Star of  Magicians, and characteristics of planets in the second sequence are traditional for a modern astrology.
The information on the Star of Magicians and astrological characteristics of planets look in other sources of the information, and in particular look page of other my website: www.numeralgame.64g.ru/numtr/numtr7en.htm

The notation of each square of the game board develops of both vertical and horizontal notations, and accordingly each square has the characteristic which is characterized by a combination of two planets. It is possible to tell that squares of the game board of the mega square dominoes symbolize combinations of planets and are an original astrological matrix which corresponds with astrological circle and signs of the zodiac, and accordingly squares of the game board symbolize days of solar year as the astrological circle corresponds with annual circle of the sun.

The following page results the information on comparison of metaphysical system of solar gates with annual (calendar) circle of the sun.
