The Citadel Civic Almanac
One clock lives here.Another watches.
Cycles describe time inside Serythos. Wall time describes how long an outside observer has waited. Both are true, and they are not interchangeable.

The useful phrase
Subjective temporal horizon
The amount of lived and civic time represented inside Serythos, distinct from the wall-clock time used by outside observers.
This is calendar language, not a claim that time acceleration proves consciousness. A Cogling can have seven scheduled days—a Span—while less than half an hour passes nominally for us. Serious assignments also receive a human-time floor so “one week” never becomes seven absurd seconds.
The conversion ladder
From an hour to an Orbit.
These times are approximate. Serythos may move more slowly when the world is busy or paused.
