In real life, 1803 years is 100 times the saros cycle, designed to predict eclipses. In addition, it also makes for both the leap week and the leap day calendars that excellently approximate the March equinox - 22300 lunar months is almost exactly 658532 days or 94076 weeks. Therefore, it creates 3 different calendric scales that can be used as leap cycles - 437-note leap day cycle with a 590\1803 generator (a major third), 320-note leap week cycle with 524\1803 generator (a neutral third), and the lunisolar cycle with the 1078\1803 generator (a slightly sharp fifth). | In real life, 1803 years is 100 times the saros cycle, designed to predict eclipses.
