UNIVER.SYS Timekeeping

UNIVER.SYS has its own time system, known as Post-Integer Tempo, which replaced the old time system of the pre-Techne era after the change of universe's structure from an apocalyptic event that wiped out all the Scions and a huge chunk of Techne population.

Post-Integer Calendar

A cycle in UNIVER.SYS is formatted as [Cycle Number] + [Quarter] + [Subquarter] PI (Post Integer). A cycle is divided into four quarters (Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4), and each quarter has 3 subquarters (Q1.1, Q1.2, Q1.3). The four quarters were divided based on changes in internal energy flow of the universe, which affected flora, fauna, and Techne population.

A cycle is almost exactly 360 subcycles, with incremental deviations each cycle, which meant that a quarter is 90 subcycles.

Though the apocalyptic event shrouded the Pre-Integer era in mystery and made old knowledge obsolete, recent studies by early Calculator and Prospector Techne bore fruit in a recurring theory about the Integer Cycle. This phenomenon was thought to cause UNIVER.SYS resetting approximately every $2^{64} - 1$ cycles.

Fortunately, the setting in its current state lies far from the next Integer Cycle.
