# The Antikythera Mechanism · instrument № 00

**What it is.** the first computer (~100 BC), recovered from a shipwreck: crank it and it computes the sky — sun & moon on the zodiac, the moon's phase, the Metonic calendar, and real Saros eclipse-season prediction

**How it works.** A hand-cranked canvas dial computing the sky live from J2000 mean elements — sun/moon longitudes, the moon's phase, Metonic·Saros·Callippic cycle dials, the Olympiad games, and Saros eclipse-season prediction within the true ecliptic limits.

**The live example.** This emergent does not merely describe a tool — it links its working self: **[run instrument № 00 live](https://davidwise01.github.io/mimzy/bench/00-antikythera.html)**. Open it, operate it, and the badge's claims execute in front of you.

**The verified record.** Verified against history: the 2017 Great American total solar lands 0.1° from the node; the 2019 & 2025 total lunars flag; ordinary days stay clear. 5/5 test eclipses classified correctly.
