Which outcome occurs because inaccuracies aggregate during astronomical calculations encoded on Incan quipu?

💡 Explanation

Repeated numerical addition on the quipu introduces cumulative error, driven by numerical integration; therefore, religious dates tied to celestial alignments shift, rather than generating inconsistencies for shorter timescales of schedules, because the cumulative effect is small initially.
