This journal is a new calendar and clock that tracks time starting from the March Equinox of 2026 at 14:46:11 UTC, synchronized so that every day begins roughly at dawn in Baja California.
The Calendar: A year of 360 days, divided into 12 months of 30 days each. Each month has five weeks and wach week follows a 6-day cycle from Sunday to Darkday. There are 12 years in a generation, 12 generations in an era, 6 eras in an epoch, 4 epochs in an age, and 2 ages in a revolution. The revolution happens every 6912 years and recalibrates to perfect synchronicity with the solar orbit by adding less than an hour at the end of the last day of the final year.
The Clock: There are 4 quarters of the day, roughly corresponding to dawn, noon, dusk, and midnight. There are 12 hours in a quarter, 12 minutes in an hour, 12 moments in a minute, 12 seconds in a moment, and 12 instants in a second. Each second is stretched (about 4% longer) so that 82,944 of these new seconds constitute a full day.
Corrections: Although not implemented yet, leap years of 366 days will synchronize with the real astronomical orbit, and leap minutes at the end of the year will fix the remaining drift away from the astronomical cycles.
