This page deals with the EMTS (Elite Measurement and Time system), an alternative time, measurement, and metric prefix system. EMTS was first called the "RyoSystem (RS)" but due to issues, it has been renamed to EMTS for obvilious reasons.
The information is avaliable via download on the alternative host at http://rynprov.110mb.com/emts.pdf. It requires Adobe Abrocat or Adobe reader (You can get Adobe reader free at http://www.adobe.com and follow the links to the Adobe reader)
Here's the current date and time in the EMTS date/time elements
Note: You might have to zoom in to see the numbers more clearly.
Note: EMTS contains a leap-week calendar, a lunar calendar, a solar calendar, a lunisolar calendar, a decimal date system like MJD or JD, a 400-day calendar, a combination/hybrid of the above ones, decimal time, 20:50:100 time, 40:100:100 time, 24:100:36 time, decimalized years, and 96:100:100 time.
UNITS
Main units and prefixes
We begin with the measurement of length. The unit for the length is the nitro (nt). It is defined as a 1/299792458 of a light tinoChoi. 1 nitro equals 2.881993783 metres. We go to the unit of liquid volume. A litre is defined as 0.001 m^3. We follow the same rule for the nitro. So, the EMTS unit for liquid volume is 0.001nt^3 and is called a vole (vl) 1 vole equal 0.023937518 litre. The unit for solid volume is currently expressed in cubic metres. The EMTS unit for solid volume is expressed as cubic nitros. 1 cubic nitro equals to 23.93751804 cubic metres. The SI unit for mass is currently expressed in kilograms. The mass unit for EMTS is is called a Kinadrice (Kadr). A Kinadrice equals to 23.93751804 kilograms. For angles, the current unit for angles is degrees. There are other units for angles like, radians and grads. Grads are 1/400th of the circumference. The unit of angles in the EMTS is called a zone (zn), and it's 0.01 of the circumference apart. For temperatures, the current unit for temperatures is degrees Celsius (°C) (Americans don't use the metric system. They use the Imperial system, so the unit for temperatures in the Imperial system is °F [degrees Fahrenheit]). There is also another temperature scale called Kelvin. The unit for temperature in the EMTS is named the tempto (tp), and its 0.1°C apart. 0 tp shall be at the freezing point (0°C) and 1 000tp shall be at the boiling point (100°C). A smaller unit, called a tempa (ta) is 1/100 of a tempto. Temperatures below 0tp 0ta will go negative (eg: -75tp 22.55ta = -7.52255°C). For the EMTS unit for pressure, the bigger unit is a "proakza" (pz), which is 100 Pa (0.1 kPa), and a smaller unit is called a ploko (po), which is 0.01pz. And for the time of day... the unit shall be a Choi (Ch)! It is 14 minutes 24 seconds or 0.01 day (1 centiday) long. For Dates, it shall be either a grand (gr), or an EliteDay (ED). It is 24 hours or 100 Chois long. With the EMTS time unit being a Choi and the EMTS distance unit being the nitro, we can express speeds in the EMTS in nitros per kinoChoi (nt/koCh). 1nt/koCh is about 12.00830743 km/h (kilometres per hour). Alternatively, 1 km/h is 0.083275683nt/koCh. To make it for common use, it shall be expressed in Cinanitros per Chois (Cant/Ch). Posted speed limits on roads and highways would be marked in intervals of 15 Cant/Ch. Freeways speed limits would be 150 Cant/Ch and highway speed limits would be 100 Cant/Ch. City speed limits would be 45-60 Cant/Ch. Numbers and major ticks on analog speedometers on vehicles would go in intervals of 15 Cant/Ch. Moderate ticks would go in intervals of 5 Cant/Ch, while the minor ticks should go in intervals of 1 Cant/Ch. The speedometer would go up to 240-270 Cant/Ch (add or take 15-30 Cant/Ch).
Other units
1 ammon (am) equals to 1 amp.
1 malto (mt) equals to 23.93751804 moles.
1 cunno equal 1 candela
1 Hazzt (Ht) equal 1.157407407 hertz
1 Neo (No) equal 92.4154693 Newton
1 Jolu (Ju) equal 266.3408079 joules
1 Wato (Wo) equal 308.264824 watts
1 Zapo (Zp) equal 308.264824 volts
1 Olet (Ol) equal 308.264824 ohms
1 zone (zn) equals 3.6 degrees of a circumference.
Prefixes
The multiple symbols are in UPPER CASE and end in –ina/-a, while sub-multiple symbols are in lower case and end in –ino/-o
There’s an issue about compounding prefixes. SI disallows compounding prefixes, but in the EMTS, compounding prefixes is necessary (eg: 10 000 Chois = 1 DinaKinaChois, 0.000 05 grd = 5 cokogrd), but with a few expections: You cannot use two or more Cina-, Dina-, cino-, or dino- prefixes and/or the same prefixes greater than 100 in multiples of 1000 or smaller than 0.01 in multiples of 1000.
TIME
Elite Metric Time
The base unit for the EMTS is the Choi (Ch). It is from Elite Metric Time (EMT). It is 0.01 day or 14 min 24.000 sec long. In other words, it is about 1/4 of the standard hour long. A Choi is divided into 10 dinoChois (doCh) of 1 min 26.400 sec each. A dinoChoi is further divided into 100 kinoChois (koCh) 1 kinoChoi is 0.864 second long. There is 86,400 seconds in a day, an equivalent of 100 000 kinoChois. Currently, the second is defined as 9,192,631,770 waves of constant frequency radiated by a metal caesium in the time period. Since 1koCh = 0.864 s, 9 192,631,770 x 0.864 = 7,942,433,849.28. The kinoChoi would be defined as the time period for the metal caesium to radiate 7 942 433 849.28 waves of constant frequency. If we round this number to the nearest unit, the difference is 0.28. If this were the exact number to define a kinoChoi (the time period for the metal caesium to radiate 7 942 433 849 waves of constant frequency), a leap kinoChoi will take place every 28,365,835 Chois or 776.6 solar years! 1 kinoChoi is then further divided into 1000 minoChois (moCh). 1 moCh is 0.864 ms long. EMT starts and ends the day at 00:00:00.000 UTC/GMT
Elite Metric Date
Elite Metric Date's (EMD) base unit is the grand (gr). It is 100 Chois or 24 hours long. 1 Dinagrand (dagr) is 10 days long. 1 Cinagrand (Cagr) is 3.28549112 months or 100 days. 1 Kinagrand (Kagr) is 1,000 days or 2.737 909 26 years long. There are special units for EMD.
• Elite Epoch: 0999.12.27 (Julian), style: XXX.X.XX EMD.E ELE
The time of day (EMT) format for extended precision is this: XX.XXX XXX EMT, but for lesser precision, only kinoChois (XX.XXX EMT) or dinoChois (XX.X EMT) is used to tell time to the nearest kinoChoi or dinoChoi, the same way people tell time to the nearest second or minute. The day range is 00.000 000 EMT to 99.999 999 EMT. For the Millennium epoch, I chose to count days from 2000 Jan 01 on the Gregorian calendar because of the last 3 zeroes of the 4-digit year. For the Elite Epoch, I like to count the days since New Year’s Day of year 1000 CE
Loco Elite Metric Date (Millennium Epoch Only)
EMD dates using the Millennium Epoch follow the 1 000 EMS (Cagr) (100 000-day) cycle LEMD (Loco Elite Metric Date) classified as "Zycle A". A-000.00 LEMD falls on CE/AD 1726.03.07 on the Julian calendar. Dates before that epoch follow the "Zycle B", onward to "Zycle Z". This spans a range of 2,600,000 days or 7,118.5 years. The Absolute epoch of LEMD dates is June 10, 5119 BC. Dates following that follow the SLEMD (Super Loco Elite Metric Date) Epoch going from zector 0001 zycle A to zector 9999 zycle Z. That’s 2 600 000 000 days! The SLEMD epoch is about 7,116,559 BCE. 26 zycles equal 1 zector. Example of SLEMD is 5065-B-056.15 SLEMD. MLEMT (Mega Loco Elite Metric Date) follows SLEMD's epoch. 1 000 zectors or 26 000 zycles equal 1 Krypton. Dates before SLEMD's epoch must add kryptons. MLEMT ranges from Krypton 00001 zector 0000 zycle A to Krypton 99999 zector 9999 zycle Z. This spans the range of 2.6 x 1013 days or about 71.2 billion years! MLEMD's, SLEMD's and LEMD's Kryptons, zectors and zycles go backwards as EMY, EMS, cy and gr advance forward as it goes to the Elite epoch of EMD as time passes as LEMD reaches A-999.99 and go to the EMD's Millennium epoch and start ticking the Chois, dinaChois, KinaChois and minaChois and grands, cycles, EMS and EMY since the Millennium Epoch.
EliteYears, EliteDays, Zoles, Zole counts, Eliteweeks, and day names
EliteDays (ED) can be used in the EMTS, but the epoch for EliteDays shall be counted as ED000 on New Year’s Day. ED364/ED365 will be on New Year’s Eve. EliteYears (EY) are counted from the Elite Epoch only, NOT the Millennium Epoch. EY0000 falls on 0999.12.27 on the Julian calendar. EY1000 falls on 2000.01.02. The EliteYears later than EY0000 follow the Elite Era (EE). Negative EliteYears follow the BEE (Before Elite Era) and the negative sign is omitted (e.g.: -0333 = EE0333 BEE). I have created a system for religious peoples and for people who still use 7-day weeks. It's called the Zole system. 7 grands equal 1 zole. The start of the zole starts at ZG0 (Monday) and ends at ZG6 (Sunday). Zoles are included in the EMTS. EliteWeeks (EW) are 10 grands long, similar to cycles and Dinagrands, but EliteWeeks use the EliteYear. It goes from EW00 to EW36. There are 36 full EliteWeeks in the year, with a shortened 37th EliteWeek at the end with 5 or 6 grands (depending if the EliteYear is a EliteLeapYear or not). EliteWeekGrands (EG) count grands of the EliteWeek. It begins at EG0 and ends at EG9. I named it numerically with the suffix -de or -ede. I also created CycleGrands (CG) to use with the EMTS. It is used in EMD.M (MLE) and EMD.E (ELE.), but for EliteDate (ELD), it is counted from the Millennium Epoch only from CG0 to CG9. I name them as well numerically with the suffix -er. The Zole count starts when zole (ZL) 00 is when the new EliteYear is on that zole. But when the new EliteYear falls on Onezat, twozat, Threezat, Fourzat, Fivzat or Sixzat when the EliteDays on the zole before the new EliteYear, the zole becomes ZL51 or ZL52, depending on when the new EliteYear falls on what Zolgrand, and Elitedays on or after the new EliteYear on the same zole becomes ZL00. The Zole count is inceased by 1 every ZeroZat, until ED364/ED365, then it resets to ZL00.
LUNISOLAR/LUNAR DATING SYSTEM
A luni-solar dating System is included in the EMTS. There is 12 or 13 EliteLunarMonths (ELM) in an EliteLuniSolarYear (ELSY), each with 29 or 30 EliteDays. EliteLunarMonth names are named numerically with the suffix –moon. The New Year occur the new moon after ED000. The day of the month number is calculated by the remainder of the day count since the start of the epoch divisible by the mean number of days of the lunation period. The month number is determined by the remainder of the lunation count since the epoch divisible by the value in which the days in the solar year divided by the days in the lunation period. The years are is determined by the lunation count since the epoch divided by the value in which the days in the solar year divided by the days in the lunation period. This is named EML1. This dating system starts on the new moon of EY 0000 EE. EML1 is arithmetic lunisolar dating system. EML1a and EML1b are similar to EML1 but EML1a is a rule-based lunisolar dating system based on the simple lunisolar calendar (http://www.geocities.com/rpontisso/lunisolar/lunisolarinstructions.html ), and EML1b is based on the lunation period pattern of the Yerm Lunar calendar (http://www.hermetic.ch/cal_stud/palmen/yerm1.htm ). For leap years, I will introduce a 334-year cycle with 123 leap years in a pattern with the 19-year Mentonic cycle, in which is XXOXXOXOXXOXXOXXOXO, in which X being a common year and O being a leap year. In addition to the Moon calendar series, I added the Lunar Dating System. It is named EML2. There are 12 ELM in an ELY (EliteLunarYear), and there are no leap ELM. This makes the complete lunar calendar of the EMTS. The ELY is shorter than the EY, so the new ELY falls on a different EliteDay of the EliteYear, and there could be an ELY within an EliteYear. The month number is determined by the remainder of the lunation count since the epoch divisible 12. The years are determined by the lunation count since the epoch divided by 12. This dating system starts at the new moon of EY 0000 EE. EML2 is an arithmetic 12-month lunar dating system. EML2a is based on the lunation period of EML1a. EML2b is based on the lunation period of EML1b
Lunisolar/Lunar fixed week date system
New for 2009 is the fixed-week lunisolar/lunar fixed week date system. It is named EMXL. On the lunisolar side, there is 12 or 13 EliteLunarXalMonths (ELXM) in an EliteLuniSolarXalYear (ELSXY). On the 12-month lunar side, there are 12 EliteLunarXalMonths in an EliteLunarXalYear (ELXY). There are 28 or 35 EliteDays in an ELXM. The new ELXM will occour when the new ELM falls on Monday or up to 6 grands between the new ELM and ELXM. The same goes for the new ELSXY or ELXY, in correlation to ELSY or ELY. The lunisolar/lunar fixed week date system begins on the Monday before EML1 EE 0000ELSY 0ELM 0ED/EML2 EE 0000ELY 0ELM 0ED.
10-Month EDL EliteDalendar Dating System
There are 10 EliteMonths (EM) per year, each with 36 or 37 EliteDays. Months are calculated by the current EliteDay number divided by 10 rounded down. Days are calculated by the remainder of the EliteDay number divisible by 10. EDL is an arithmetic 10-month solar dating system, but you can follow the pattern of the days of the month for common and leap years: THE PATTERN IS: (X FOR 36 DAY, O FOR 37 DAY): COMMON YEAR: XOXOXOXOXO, LEAP YEAR: XOXOOXOXOO
12- and 10-month fixed week EXL EliteXalendar Dating System
EliteXalendar Dating system (or EXL) begins on Zerozat (Monday) of the zole of E/EY 0000 EE ED 000. There are 52 or 53 zoles in an EliteXalYear (EXY), each with 12 EliteXalMonths (EXM). Previously, I adopted the 28-35-28 pattern for EXL, which is similar to the Symmetry454 fixed week dating system. Now EXL is an arithmetic and rule-based fixed-week calendar, but you can follow the pattern of the days of the month for common and leap years: THE PATTERN IS FOR THE DAYS OF THE MONTH (X FOR 28-DAY, X FOR 35-DAY): XXOXXOXXOXXO FOR COMMON YEARS, XXOXOXXOXOXO FOR LEAP YEARS. There are 2 versions of EXL: EXL1 and EXL2. For EXL1, The month number is determined by the zole of the EliteXalYear divided by 12 rounded down. The day of the month is determined by the current month number divided by the value in which it’s the days of the solar year divided by 7, and then added by the current ZolGrand number. The EliteXalYear is determined by the number of zoles divided by value in which it’s the days of the solar year divided by 7. For EXL2, it’s a rule-based fixed-week calendar. The leap year rule is adopted from the Symmetry454 calendar leap rule, in which the leap year is determined if the remainder of (52*Y+166)/293 is less than 52, in which Y stands for the year. There is also a 10-month fixed week date system as well, but it’s called EliteXalDalendar or EXDL for short. There are 10 EliteXalDenMonths (EXDL) in an EXL, each with 35 or 42 EliteDays. EXDL also debuted in 2009 with EMXL.
12-month ENL EliteNedlendar ENL dating system
ENL is 12-month arithmetic dating system in which there are 12 months in a year, each with 30 or 31 days. Months are calculated by the current EliteDay number divided by 12 rounded down. Days are calculated by the remainder of the EliteDay number divisible by 12. The pattern: (X FOR 30-DAY, 0 FOR 31 DAYS): COMMON YEAR: XXOXOXXOXOXO, LEAP YEAR: XOXOXOXOXOXO
5515-YEAR CYCLE
Well, I’m part of the CALNDR-L mailing list, and I heard about the 5515-year lunisolar cycle. The cycle is made up of 5515 years, 68211 months, or 2014311 days. The mean year (used for EliteDate and ELT) is 365 1336/5515 days, and the mean lunation is 29 928/1749 days. There are 2031 leap years in the 5515-year lunisolar cycle. In the solar calendar, there are 1336 leap days, so there’ll be a leap year in average in every approx 4.1279940119760479041916167664671 years, and for the lunisolar calendar, the leap year will occur in average of every approx 2.7154111275233874938453963564746 years. I adopted the 5515-year cycle from someone from the CALNDR-L mailing list, in which you can see it at http://www.nabble.com/5515-Year-Luni-Solar-Cycle-to20632776r0.html.
Zones, Time zones, Latitudes and Longitudes
The EMTS unit for angular measure is zones (zn). It is 3.6° apart. 360° is 100zn. The world's coordinates would be revised decimally in zones, kinozones (kozn, 0.001zn) and minozones (mozn, 0.000 001zn). Latitudes go from the North Pole at 0.000 000zn, advancing southward to the South Pole at 50.000 000zn. Longitudes go from 0.000 000zn at the Prime Meridian, advancing westward, opposite to the direction of the Earth to 99.999 999zn. Every minozone on the equator equals 40 centimetres. Tilbury, Ontario, Canada would be 13.2 zn latitude, 22.8 zn longitude in the EMTS
Time zones and global time
There would be no time zones in the EMTS. Instead, there will be one universal time system. Elite Metric Time is the same time around the world and is based on Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), so 00:00 UTC is 00.0 EMT and 12:00 UTC is 50.0 EMT. Global time is also useful for World markets, especially when stock markets merge from two continents. It is even more useful for chatting from one person from one country to another person in another country and for International conferences. There will be no Daylight Saving time.
Other
EliteClock/EliteWatch
Analog EliteClock/EliteWatch
An analog EliteClock (or EliteWatch) should have 100 minor ticks every 3.6° (1zn) and 10 major ticks every 36° (10zn). It would be placed on the edge of the clock face facing inwards on the clock and watch and optionally, between 1/2 and 1/3 of the way from the clock face edge to the centre of the clock face facing outwards on wall and alarm clocks only. Additionally, there would be 1000 tiny ticks on the edge of the clock face every 0.36° (0.1zn) facing inward, but that's optional. The clock face will be numbered 00 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 clockwise with 00 on the top and 50 on the bottom. There will be 2 hands, one short and one long. The long hand rotates once every Choi clockwise and the short hand rotates once every day clockwise. To help aid telling time, a secondary dial is added, on wall clocks only, with 10 ticks every 36° or 10zn facing inwards on the edge of the secondary dial, with a hand rotating once every 10 Chois clockwise and the dials are numbered 0-9 clockwise with 0 on the top and 5 on the bottom (These are Chois). On smaller clocks (like alarm clocks) and EliteWatches, a disc is placed behind the clock dial with 100 minor ticks and 10 major ticks with numbers going 0-9 (These are Chois) anticlockwise (counter-clockwise). The disc rotates clockwise and rotates once every 10 Chois. There would be a cut-out inside the clock dial, just halfway to just 3-5 cm from the centre of the clock dial and the pointer at the bottom centre of the cut-out if the numbers on the disc face outward or the top centre if the numbers if the numbers face inward. If the numbers on the disc face inward, the cut-out will be placed on the top half of the clock dial. If the numbers on the disc face outward, then the cut-out will be placed on the bottom half of the clock dial. The disc should be centred behind the clock dial and in front of the gears. Analog alarm EliteClocks will have the alarm hand behind the clock hands and point to the tick corresponding to the Choi. When the short hand reaches the alarm hand, then the alarm will ring. e.g.: when the alarm hand is on Choi 50, and the clock time reaches 50.0 EMT, the alarm will ring. The alarm hand rotates in intervals of 1 Choi when it is set by the user. A skinny hand may be added to tick away the kinoChois, rotating once every dinoChoi. This is similar to the second hand on conventional clocks. This is what an analog EliteClock looks like, with the ELITE 3000 styling:
EliteClock styles will vary, from numbers, to face design, to hands.
Digital EliteClock/EliteWatch
On a digital EliteClock or EliteWatch, time is displayed in numerals. The start of the grand on the digital clock would show "00.0". The 2 digits left of the decimal point shows the Chois, while the digit on the right of the decimal shows the dinoChois. kinoChois might be added right of dinoChois, but the display size of kinoChois will be slightly smaller than the display size of Chois and dinoChois, eg:
The number 70, for example represent Chois, the number 3 represent dinoChois and the number 66 represent kinoChois Clock times earlier than 10.0 EMT places a leading zero in front of the Chois, so 9.5 becomes 09.5. Digital EliteClocks should be displayed in LED, while digital EliteWatches shall be displayed in LCD. Hence the time “11.041 731 EMT” on an analog/digital EliteClock above is another example, but the minoChois (731) and the text “EMT” is optional.
Workdays and off days
Well, I scrapped the worship/work/off-day thingy, and introduce the 1-3-2-3-1 system. The system works on the cyclegrand system for the millennium epoch only. Under the new system, people take Zeroer off, work on Oner, Twoer, and Threer, take Fourer and Fiver off, work on Sixer, Sevener and Eighter, and take niner off. Imagine it's like the double one-three-one system! People get paid on the Eighter under the system.
Elitelendars
Elitelendars are calendars which displays the dates of the EMTS. There are two kinds of Elitelendars: Integular Elitelendars and Ordinular Elitelendars. Integular Elitelendars are displayed on a 10-grand-per-page double-page printed sheet in a small book, the same as like a weekly planner, and on a page, it will show the header (EY XXXX, ED XXX – XXX), and the subheader, it will show (EMS XX CY X MLE/Dagr XXXXX ELE), and it will display a table with 2 rows and 10 columns. The left row will show the grand numbers (0-9) in bold (EMD.E ELE grand numbers are greyed out, but EMD.M MLE grand numbers are not greyed out.) and the EliteDay number in a smaller text size. The right row shows the religious/national holidays and observances, EML1/EML2/EDL/EXL/ENL/EXDL/EMXL1/EMXL2 dates, Zolegrand numbers, Zole numbers, and moon phrases, and optionally, EliteWeekGrand and Cyclegrand numbers (EMD.M MLE only). (New Moon, Full Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter) in normal text and SEDT dates, XD, ZD, XLD, XLZD, XZD, SPT dates, WCT dates and ELT dates (dates as of at 00.0 EMT) in smaller text. Integular Elitelendars will have 37 pages (for the whole EliteYear) to 40 pages (400 grands.) Ordinular Elitelanders displays the entire EliteDays of the Eliteyear in a 10x37 square or 10x38 square tables. The Ordinular Elitelendar also displays Zolegrand, EliteWeekGrand, EliteWeek, Zolegrand, and CycleGrand numbers, and EMD.M MLE and EMD.E ELE dates. There is no room to insert EML1, EML2, EXL, ENL and EDL dates. Large Ordinular Elitelendars are hung on a wall, and personal Ordinular Elitelendars are the same width of a letter- or A4-size paper and can be rolled up and placed inside a tube, like the same diameter of an empty toilet paper roll or an empty paper towel roll.
SUPER ELITE DATE AND TIME (SEDT)
The base unit is called a ram (abbrevation: rm). It is 24 hours or 100 Chois long. There are subunis for the ram. 0.1 ram is called a dinoram (dorm). It is 10.0 Ch long. 0.01 ram equal a cinoram (corm). It is 1.000 Ch long. 0.001 ram equal a kinoram (korm), which is 1.00 doCh long. A thousandth of a kinoram equal a minoram (morm). That's 0.010 koCh long. On the other end, 10 ram equal a Dinaram (Darm) (Duration: 10 grands) 100 ram equal a Cinaram (Carm) (Duration: 1 EMS). 1,000 ram equal a Kinaram (kam) (Duration: 1 EMY/2.738 EliteYears). The starting point for SEDT is 00:00 UTC at 1970.01.01. The day range for SEDT is 000.000 to 999.999 korm (.000 000 - .999 999 rm). The format for SEDT is XX,XXX.XXX XXXrm SEDT
SUPERTIME (SPT)
In 2005 CE, I created SuperTime. SPT is a time-keeping and a dating system. For the time-keeping system, the main unit is the Cent (Ct). It is 1 Ch long. 1 Cent is divided into 100 breaths (bh). 1 breath equal 10 koCh long. 1 breath is further divided into 100 rolexes (rx). 1 rolex equal 0.1 koCh. 1 rolex is then further divided into 100 bits (bt), making the bit the smallest unit of SPT, and it's 1 moCh long. For the dating system, 100 Cents equal 1 dan (dn). 1 dan also equals to 1 grand. 10 dans equal 1 deck (dc). It is 10 grands/1 cycle long. 100 dans or 10 decks equal 1 seasto (st). That's 1 EMS long. 1 mille (me) is 1,000 dans, 100 decks or 10 seastos long, or 2.738 EliteYears or 1 EMY long. The starting point for SPT is 00:00 UTC at 1995.01.01. Format for SPT for is X.X.XX:XX.XX'XX"XX SPT. The colon (:) separates the date and time. Rolexes and bits may be omitted for lesser precision: XX.XX'XX", XX.XX'. The day range goes from 0.00'00"00 SPT to 99.99'99"99 SPT
WATCHTIME (WCT)
Also in 2005 CE, I created WatchTime. WCT is also a time-keeping and a dating system. For the time-keeping system, the main unit is the Watch (Wt). It equal 2.5 Chois long. The Watch is divided into 100 pents (pt) 1 pent equal 25 koCh. The pent is further divided into 100 beats (beats WITHOUT a dot, unlike Swatch uses a .beat WITH a dot!) 1 beat equal 250 moCh. A beat is then further divided into 100 tico (tc), making the tico the smallest unit of WCT and it is 2.5 koCh long. For the dating system, 40 Watches equal a dai (di) (plural: daises). That's 1 grand long. 10 daises equal a dek (dk). That's 10 grands long. 40 dais or 4 deks equal 1 moth (mh). That's 40 grands. 1 yera (ya) is 10 mh, 40 dk or 400 di long (or 4 EMS or 1.09514 EliteYears long). The day range goes from 0.00'00"00 WCT to 39.99'99"99 WCT. The epoch for WCT is the same for SPT (1995.01.01 at 00:00 UTC), so we have a 1,000 day-count and a 400-day count! Beats and ticos may be omitted for lesser precision: XX.XX'XX", XX.XX". The format for general use is XX.X.XX:XX.XX'XX"XXtc WCT, and WCT dates and times are separated with a colon (:).
ELITETIME (ELT)
EliteTime is a decimal time system which divides a EliteYear into 1,000,000,000 "tims" (tm). 1 tim equal about 36.5 minoChois. 1,000 tims (Kinatim [Katm]) equal about 36.5 kinoChois. 1,000,000 tims or 1 Minatim (Matm) equal about 36.5 Chois. It's also called a "Ray". 10 Rays equal a "Reek" (10 Matm) (about 3.65 grd). 100 Rays or 10 Reeks equal a "Ronth" (100 Matm) (about 36.5 gr). 10 Ronths, 100 Reeks or 1000 Rays equal 1 Rear (1 Ninatim [Natm]). That's 1 EliteYear. 1 Tinatim (Tatm) equal 1,000 EliteYears/Rears. EliteTime starts at 0 tm at E/EY0000 EE ED000 at 00.0 EMT. The ReekRays are named numerically, from 0-9, with the prefix "-slay" or "-eslay": Zeroslay, Oneslay, Twoslay, Threeslay, Fourslay, Fiveslay, Sixeslay, Sevenslay, Eightslay, Nineslay. The Ronth names are named from the 1st Ronth to the 10th Ronth like this: Nuller, Primer, Duoer, Trier, Quarter, Quinter, Sexter, Septer, Octer, and Noner. The format for ELT is x xxx xxx xxx xxx tm, for the full date and time, or xxxxslay, xxxxxer xx, Yxxxx. Examples: 1 000 000 000 000 t; Zeroslay, Nuller 0, Y1000
E-Time (EXT) and E-Clox (ECX)
EXT is divided into 24 Ehours (Ehr), and each hour is divided into 100 chants (xs). The chant is then further divided into 36 zwinkos (zk). 1 zwinko is then further divided into 100 chains (cx). EXT starts at 0.00'00”00 at 05:00 UTC and never adjusts for Daylight saving time. 1 chant equal 36 seconds or about 41.67 kinoChois. 1 zwinko equal 1 second (about 1.157407 kinoChois). 1 chain equals 10 milliseconds or 11.57407 minoChois. Also introduced on the turn of EY 1008 EE is E-Clox. ECX divided a day into 96 quads (qd), which divides a quad into 100 speedos (se), in which each speedo is further divided into 100 nikes (nk). 1 nike is then further divided into 100 nixies (nx). 1 quad equal 15 minutes (1.041667 Chois) 1 speedo equal 9 seconds (10.416 kinoChois). 1 nike equal 0.09 seconds (about 104 minoChois). 1 nixie equal 900 microseconds or 1.04 minoChois. ECX aligns on the same time zone as EXT and never adjusts for Daylight Saving Time.
ZenDate (ZD)
Well, ZD is aligned to January 1, 10000 BCE as ZD 0. The reason: I decided to put up a new day count that will start at the year 10,000 BCE. There are 3 versions of this: ZD1, ZD2 and ZD3. ZD1 is based on UTC, while ZD2 is 5 hours offset behind UTC. ZD2 never adjusts for Daylight Saving Time. ZD3 is based on ELITE 3000 time, in which is UTC-5, and adjusts for DST
XalDate (XD) and XalTime (XT)
XD and XT are a dating system and a time-keeping system in which...
There are 40 grands (XALDAYS, XX) in a XALMonth (XN) (40 gr).
There are 10 ZM in a XALYear (ZY) (4 EMS)
A XX is divided into 20 XALHours (XH), which is 5 Chois long
A XH is divided into 50 XALMinutes (XM) which is 1 dinoChoi long
A XM is divided into 100 XALSeconds (XS) which is 1 kinoChoi long
A XS is divided into 100 XALTicks (XZ) which is 10 minoChois long
XT/XD starts at EY 0000 EE ED 000 or 000.0.00 EMD.E EYE at 00.0 EMT
NEW: FOR 2009, I INTRODUCED XLD (XENLUNARDATE), XZD (XENZALDATE) AND XLZD (XENLUNARZALDATE). XLD is a 400-day/lunar hybrid date system. There are 13 or 14 XLM (XenLunarMonth) in an XLY (XenLunarYear). There is 29 or 30 XX in XLM. XLM starts on the same day when EML1/EML2 starts. XLZD is a 400-day/lunar/fixed-week date system. There are 13 or 14 XLZM (XalLunarZalMonth) in a XalLunarZalYear (XLZY), and there is 28 or 35 XX in XLZM. XLZD starts on the same day as EMXL1/EMXL2 starts. XZD is a 400-day/fixed week hybrid date system. There are 10 XZM (XalZalMonths) in a XZY (XalZalYear), each dividing into 35 or 42 XX. XZD begins on the dame day EXL/EXDL starts. The new XLZY, XLZM, XZY or XZM always occur on a Monday
KIBAOCTIS SYSTEM
The newest addition to EMTS is the KibaOctis system. The smaller unit, the Bino (Bi) (1 bit) measures the quantum of binary information. 8 Binos equals 1 Octi (Ot) (it is the same as 1 byte) We never use the base 10 metric system, either the EMTS or SI metric system, nor does the Pandecimal system. Instead, we use the modified version of the binary metric system that was oringally approved as a standard in 1998 (EY 0998 EE) by the International Electrotechnical Commission (http://www.iec.ch/) (IEC -- whose first president, incidentally, was Lord Kelvin), but we use the same prefix letter as with the base 10 EMTS metric system, but only with base 2.
Here are the commonly used prefixes for the unit Octi (Byte) as with today’s units
OLDNEWNUMBER OF BYTES (OCTIS)
KILOBYTEKBKIBAOCTIKiOt2^10 (1,024)
MEGABYTEMBMIBAOCTIMiOt2^20 (1,048,576)
GIGABYTEGBNIBAOCTINiOt2^30 (1,073,741,824)
TERABYTETBTIBAOCTITiOt2^40 (1,099,511,627,776)
The same goes with P, E, Z, Y, H, V, U, F, A, S, G, R, W, and B, each multiplying by 2^10 or 1,024.
For transfer rates, it shall be expressed as #iba[Bino/Octi] per kinoChoi (#i[Bi/Ot]/koCh). It is similar to [KB/MB/GB, etc]/second or #bps, hence 1 koCh = 0.864 second, 1 Bino = 1 byte, and 1 Octi = 1 byte = 8 Binos = 8 bits.
