(UAT) Universal Adaptive Time


(SAC) Self-Adapting Clock


1) Core idea

  • One truth anchor: UTC (leap-second aware) as the canonical now.
  • Many lawful views: derive civil time (IANA tz), machine time (epoch/TAI/GPS), astronomical time (TT/Julian day/sidereal), and bio-rhythm time (circadian phase) from the same anchor.
  • Auto-sequencing: every event carries a sequence, pre-sequence, pro-sequence, and meta-sequence so instances can spawn, reorder, and reconcile across boundaries (DST flips, leap seconds, ship/air travel, polar day/night).

2) Data model (minimal, expressive)

uat_now:
  anchor:
    # Canonical instant (authoritative)
    utc: "2025-08-17T01:56:00Z"           # from your prior anchor (PT=UTC-7)
    source:
      ntp_pool: ["time.google.com","time.cloudflare.com","pool.ntp.org"]
      gps_lock: false
      tai_offset: 37                      # leap seconds; update as standards change
      verification: ["NTP quorum>=3", "monotonic_ok", "jitter<5ms"]
  civil_views:
    - label: "PT"
      tz: "America/Los_Angeles"
      local_iso: "2025-08-16T18:56:00-07:00"
      dst: true
    - label: "JST"
      tz: "Asia/Tokyo"
      local_iso: "2025-08-17T10:56:00+09:00"
      dst: false
  machine_views:
    unix_epoch_ms: 1755386160000
    gps_week: {week: 2362, sow: 716160}   # seconds-of-week
    tai_iso: "2025-08-17T01:56:37Z"       # UTC + leap seconds
  astro_views:
    jd: 2460602.580556                    # Julian Day
    mjd: 60602.080556
    lst:
      site: {lon_deg: -118.2437, lat_deg: 34.0522, name: "Los_Angeles"}
      mean_sidereal: "07:58:11"
    solar:
      day_fraction: 0.795                 # 0=local midnight, 0.5=noon
      season_phase: 0.64                  # 0..1 through tropical year
    lunar:
      synodic_phase: 0.23                 # 0=new, 0.5=full
  bio_views:
    circadian:
      chrono_type: "entrained"            # or shift_work/free-run
      zeitgeber: ["light","meal"]
      phase_angle_deg: 290                # subjective night/day mapping
  provenance:
    hash: "sha3-256:…"
    quorum: {ntp: 4, gps: 0, hwclock: 1}

Why this works: One anchor ⇒ many views. Every derived view is recomputable and verifiable (round-trip rules below).

3) Round-trip rules (truth loops)

  1. utc ↔ unix_epoch_ms must round-trip bit-exact.
  2. utc + leap_seconds = tai_iso (adjust as IERS updates).
  3. utc + tzdb(tz, instant) = local_iso (IANA TZDB only).
  4. utc + site ⇒ (jd, lst, solar, lunar) using accepted formulas (IAU/NOAA).
  5. Failure = reject/update: if any loop fails, mark UNSAFE_TIME and resync.

4) Autonomous synchronization algorithm (concise)

function refresh_now():
  t_candidates = []
  t_candidates += NTP_query_quorum(min=3, max=7)
  if GPS_lock(): t_candidates += [GPS_time_to_UTC()]
  t_candidates += [HW_monotonic_clock_hedge()]

  t_utc = robust_average(t_candidates, outlier_sigma=3)
  if not monotonic_ok(t_utc): t_utc = last_good + epsilon

  derive:
    unix_epoch_ms = to_epoch_ms(t_utc)
    tai = utc_plus_leap_seconds(t_utc, table=IERS)
    for each tz in required_views: local_iso = tzdb_apply(t_utc, tz)
    astro = astro_derivations(t_utc, site)
    bio   = circadian_phase(astro.solar_day_fraction, profile)
  verify round-trips; if fail => resync()
  persist snapshot with provenance hash
  return snapshot

5) Sequences, pre/pro/meta (for lawful ordering)

Every item carries a UOMS sequence bundle:

sequence:
  id: "seq-2025-08-17T01:56:00Z-PTA2"
  t_anchor_utc: "2025-08-17T01:56:00Z"
  orderkey:
    nanos: 000000000
    lamport: 84219              # logical clock for cross-node causality
    vector: {A:120, B:44, C:9}  # optional vector clock
  pre_sequence:
    # deterministic predecessor template (what must exist before this)
    require: ["site_calibrated","tzdb>=2025a","leap_table>=IERS-2025Q3"]
  pro_sequence:
    # deterministic successor template (what this unlocks next)
    spawn: ["windowed_task@PT 19:00-21:00", "bio_check@ZT+2h"]
  meta_sequence:
    # rule-set describing how to generate new lawful sequences
    rules:
      - "if DST_transition_in_window ⇒ split into [pre,post] with fence"
      - "if leap_second_event ⇒ inject T(23:59:60) with distinct orderkey"
      - "if polar_day ⇒ use solar_noon anchor for daily cadence"

Result: Your system instantiates new occurrences safely on DST flips, leap seconds, ship time jumps, and extreme latitudes without losing causal order.

6) Civil time is “manufactured”; we still reconcile it

  • Authority: TZ rules come from IANA TZDB (human governance).
  • Physics: UTC/GPS/TAI/JD from atomic + astronomical standards (natural governance).
  • Reconciliation: We always compute civil from physics, never the other way around. If tz rules drift, UAT re-derives local views from the same physical anchor.

7) Polarized reconciliation (your “versus / inversions”)

When two views disagree (e.g., human calendar vs. solar reality):

  1. Mark polarity: polarity = {civil: X, physical: Y}
  2. Prefer physical for automation, civil for UI/contract, and store both.
  3. Compound truth: both views signed in provenance; consumers choose policy.

8) API: tiny, predictable

Get-now (many views, one call)

GET /uat/now?tz=America/Los_Angeles,Asia/Tokyo&site=34.0522,-118.2437
→ 200 application/json  # body matches the YAML “uat_now” shape

Schedule with meta-sequence (auto DST/leap handling)

POST /uat/schedule
{
  "name": "Daily ingest",
  "tz": "America/Los_Angeles",
  "local_time": "19:00",
  "meta_sequence": {
    "leap_second_fence": true,
    "dst_split": "auto",
    "polar_strategy": "solar_noon"
  }
}

Verify round-trip

POST /uat/verify
{ "utc":"2025-08-17T01:56:00Z", "tz":"America/Los_Angeles" }
→ { "ok": true, "local_iso":"2025-08-16T18:56:00-07:00" }

9) Ethics, safety, provenance (fit to your framework)

  • Truth loop: hash every snapshot (sha3-256) + sign it; log leap-table/tzdb versions.
  • Drift alarms: if NTP_quorum<3 or round-trip fails → red-tag time and halt automations that require strong ordering.
  • Accessibility: always emit a worded CNL alongside ISO for speech→text coherence.

10) Drop-in config (use PT/JST; you can add any tz)

uat_config:
  quorum:
    ntp_min: 3
    ntp_max: 7
    max_jitter_ms: 5
  tzdb_version_min: "2025a"
  leap_seconds_table: "IERS-2025Q3"
  sites:
    default: {lat: 34.0522, lon: -118.2437, name: "Los_Angeles"}
  meta_rules:
    - "handle_DST: split or stretch windows deterministically"
    - "handle_leap: inject 23:59:60 as distinct tick"
    - "handle_polar: anchor to solar noon/midnight by season"
  outputs: ["utc","epoch","tai","gps","jd","local(PT)","local(JST)","CNL"]

Your current “present-now” folded in

Using your stated anchor (PT on Aug 16, 2025 6:56 PM), UAT emits:

  • UTC: 2025-08-17T01:56:00Z
  • PT (DST-aware): 2025-08-16T18:56:00-07:00
  • JST: 2025-08-17T10:56:00+09:00
  • Epoch ms: 1755386160000
  • CNL: “sixteenth of august two thousand twenty-five at eighteen fifty-six hours pacific daylight time; one fifty-six hours zulu on the seventeenth.”
