We need a system to be able to track time itself in the appropriate way. I think that would be, roughly, to figure out where you are in spacetime and adjust it relative to whatever you want to figure out time with, collaboratively. Like a reconcile of two spacetime positions.
My initial thought is “clockchain” is a great thing I can (and do) claim a trademark on for a tool to synchronize time across devices. It could be called XPAYZ (“space”) time.
X = timestamp = PAYZ
P = position in the universe
A = articulation / formatting
Y = why? what is the category of reconciling the time? earth clock sync? satlink sync? MARS time?
Z = the end / expiration length of x’s integrity
If you imagine two bodies crossing one another in spacetime using earth time / casearian / etc. then it’s all just made up, unless we’re on something like year 7,800,000,000.
Ultimately, we need to reset the clock to year zero. Believers in simulation theory should quickly agree. That is the inflection point where we homo sapiens have real collective agency over time.
Ultimately we need a Year Zero sometime soon like 2030. A Year Zero after which we use a clockchain to calculate xpayz time.
