Hosemann's ideal paracrystal is characterized by the Gaussian error propagation of shortrange lattice distortions along the edges of the lattice cells. In a Gaussian paracrystal, however, the short-range distortions propagate radially throughout space. In contrast to Hosemann's model there is no nee

✦ Synopsis
By using so-called "characteristics", the long-range distortion in Gaussian paracrystals may be described in a way which is independent of the lattice, provided distance and directional fluctuations between neighbouring lattice points are used. By a two-fold Fourier transformsimilar to the approach of Warren and Averbachthe lattice factor, describing the interference effect of the Gaussian paracrystal, is found from the convolution of an ideal reciprocal lattice with a lattice-independent profile function. Threadlike "one-dimensional" Gaussian and ideal paracrystals are identical with each other. Making use of the two-fold Fourier transform, Hosemann's K-factor splits into isolated discs ("Scheibchen") showing Lorentzian profiles. The profile function of two-and three-dimensional Gaussian paracrystals shows a Lorentzian-2/3 or a Lorentzian-2 profile, respectively. The different profiles are experimentally distinguishable when using a position-sensitive detector. Thus, based on experimental results, paracrystalline lattice distortions with Gaussian characteristics are detectable.

In this paper, I present a revised version of Gauss's Easter formula, which is clearer than the original Easter formula and in which certain exceptions are eliminated. I also describe a method for proving calendar algorithms.
