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, containing 12 subquarters, which meant that a quarter is 90 subcycles, with 30 subcycles per subquarter.

For example, Nix's debut cycle is 80+Q3.2 PI, and Mikko's debut cycle is 81+Q3.3 PI.

PI Calendar to Gregorian Calendar conversion

To convert a PI cycle to Gregorian year, simply add 1900 to the cycle. Each quarter stands for 3 months in order Q1 = Jan-Feb-Mar, Q2 = Apr-May-Jun, etc.), and a subquarter corresponds to a month (Q1.1 = January, Q1.2= February, etc.).

For example, Nix's debut 80+Q3.2 PI equals August 1980 in the Gregorian Calendar.

Speculations

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.
