Timekeeping
The Horizon: Virtual text establishes a unit of Program Space time in the section on the Programmer class: a "cycle". It is described as the length of time required for a programmer to rest in order to regain the capability to execute rewrites. For the purpose of the Waker Dictionary, I've linked that length of time to the standard Wizard rest time of eight hours.
The text also establishes that "a minute in User Space is the equivalent of a day in Program Space." So each day's worth of Program Space time would include three cycles.
| User Time | Program Time | Equivalent Real Time | Breakdown |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6.31e-5 Seconds | 1 Hexbit | 1 Second | 1/6 Microcycle |
| 3.788e-4 Seconds | 1 Microcycle | 6 Seconds | 6 Hexbits / 1/240 Minicycle |
| 0.09 Seconds | 1 Minicycle | 24 Minutes (1,440 seconds) | 240 Microcycles / 1/220 Cycle |
| 20 Seconds | 1 Cycle | 8 Hours | 220 Minicycles / 1/240 Minicycles |
| 1 Minute | 1 Day | 3 Cycles | |
| 1 Hour | 2 Months (60 Days) | 180 Cycles | |
| 1 Day | 2 Years (720 Days) | 4,320 Cycles | |
| 1 Month (30 Days) | 59 Years | 129,600 Cycles | |
| 1 Year (12 Months) | 710 Years | 1,555,200 Cycles |
