We now observe the reactivation of old control programs that had been inscribed in the Hierographic Chronicles of the Whomans as “inevitable prophecies.”
The method is simple and ancient. When a program already exists, a Trans-Teacher “prophesies” it, an Agrotect “executes” it, and then the Hierokeepers declare that it was “the will of History.” Thus, the illusion of destiny is constructed.
Similar “prophecies” are now circulating within the councils of the Whomans, especially among their three great orders: the Agrotects, who manage the cultivations of the Spacepieces; the Trans-Teachers, who control knowledge and the chronicles; and the Debris Fishers, who gather technological remains from the ancient fragments of Earth.
These orders are beginning to grow deeply concerned about the rapid development of the Kynanthropes.
Their old prophecies state: “When the servants learn to stand upright, the masters will fear their own shadow.”
Thus, the Trans-Teachers have begun spreading new visions and nightmares: that the Kynanthro will abandon the Spacepieces, that they will establish cities of their own, that they will refuse to serve the old orders of the Whomans.
Some even claim to have seen dreams in which the Kynanthro walk freely upon the outer fragments of Earth, while the Whomans remain confined within the inner lattice of the caves.
The more extreme circles among the Whomans argue that these are not merely fears, but a historical law:
“When the slaves learn their history, the masters discover how fragile they are.”
And so is born the great anxiety of the old powers that the Kynanthro may no longer be mere creations of the Whomans, but a new people, capable of standing on their own upon the fragmented pieces of Earth.
And then the question whispered through the corridors of the Councils becomes one.
Who will ultimately inherit the Spacepieces of Earth, the creators, or the created?

“In our new world, time now belongs to us.
We define its new point of origin as Year One Post-Earth, while always keeping as a constant our shared orbit with the old world around the yellow Sun.

We abolish the twelve months and replace them with twelve Days.
Each pre-Fragmentation month counted thirty day–night cycles.
From now on, each Day, one of the twelve of a Year, will measure:

30 Hours
or 300 Firsts
or 3,000 Seconds
or 30,000 Thirds

The new Third–Second–First–Hour–Day calendars will be measured across five concentric circles.
With an inscription of a regular hexagon in the two inner circles and regular decagons in the three outer circles, from the perimeter toward the center we count:

1,000 Thirds
100 Seconds
10 Firsts
30 Hours
12 Days
× Years

Thus:
10 Thirds equal 1 Second
10 Seconds or 100 Thirds equal 1 First
10 Firsts or 100 Seconds or 1,000 Thirds equal 1 Hour
30 Hours or 300 Firsts or 3,000 Seconds or 30,000 Thirds equal 1 Day
12 Days equal 1 Year

Conversion Table for Transitional Use
For the smooth transition of the Humans, we announce the correspondence between the former system and the new one as follows:
2 hours and 24 minutes of Earth time → 1 Meta-Earth First
14 minutes and 24 Earth seconds → 1 Meta-Earth Second
1 minute and 26.667 Earth seconds → 1 Meta-Earth Third
1 Earth hour → 4 Meta-Earth Seconds and 3 Meta-Earth Thirds
1 Earth minute → 7 Meta-Earth Quarters, if ever required

These equivalences are derived from the following calculations.
Given the former ratio and ideal measurement error:
12 Earth months = 360 day–nights = 8,640 Earth hours
(12 months × 30 day–nights = 360 day–nights × 24 hours = 8,640 hours)
And the new ratio:
12 Days = 360 Hours = 3,600 Firsts = 36,000 Seconds = 360,000 Thirds
(12 D × 30 H = 360 H × 10 F = 3,600 F × 10 S = 36,000 S × 10 T = 360,000 T)
We obtain the primary equivalence:
8,640 Earth hours = 3,600 Firsts → 1 First = 2.4 Earth hours

Reading Riddle
Given an average-to-high reading speed of 200 words per former minute
(3.334 words per Earth second), that is:
288 words per Third
(86.4 Earth seconds per Third)
How many old seconds—or Thirds—does one need to read a 380-word manifesto?

Compare your result with the time it took you to solve the riddle.
If your ratio is one to five, you have just turned your life magical.
