Navarr: hi!

Hi!

<ELLIOTTCABLE_>
Navarr: Similar unit (UJD's ‘Sol’ is 1,000 ‘.beats’), but much more defined and evolved
<ELLIOTTCABLE_>
UJD isn't about the unit, which is really *really* fucking simple (a day.), it's about two things:
<ELLIOTTCABLE_>
1. a set of conversions to *make that unit useful in the real world*, i.e. practicality conventions,
<ELLIOTTCABLE_>
and 2. a set of conventions to solve the most common “problems with timekeeping”, i.e. power conventions
<ELLIOTTCABLE_>
the former is is a design for mapping that unit, whether you look at it as ‘.beats’ or ‘microsol’, back to the units everybody's unfortunately forced to learn and use every day …
<ELLIOTTCABLE_>
… and the latter is a way to leverage the *advantages* of the simpler system you're presumably learning here, to improve your life.
<ELLIOTTCABLE_>
make sense? it's far more practical than something like .beats, which is basically saying “Let's be metric just 'cuz metric. :D”
