There aren’t many hills I’d die on, but adoption of this is one of them.
The subdivision of the year is very regular and systematic:
- Each month has exactly 4 weeks (28 days).
- Every day of the month falls on the same weekday in each month (e.g. the 17th always falls on a Tuesday).
- Every year has exactly 52 weeks divided in 13 months.
So beautiful.
This is super neat. Some micronation or fictional paracosm should adopt it and popularize it.
I and a friend or two years ago, hacked away at what we were calling a metric-calendar. Which was insanely impractical, but we were trying to achieve a similar sort of calendar symmetry/order.
We had at some point worked out a fictional holidays around when our calendar would synchronize with the current real world calendar, and when it was at max desycnhronization.
Tangently related: I’ve been reading the Kim Stanley Robinson Mars trilogy, and the time keeping they do for Martian time is pretty interesting in it’s own right.
