Note: In my "naive" Gauss ring simulation using circular, uniformly
weighted rings, the line representing accumulated precession over
time is completely straight. However, in a computation using
eccentric, weighted rings, the line is slightly curved. Over the
course of thousands of years, as Mercury's line of apsides works
its way around, the rate of precession estimated using a Gauss ring
approximation with eccentric, weighted rings will vary.
