As someone who spends an inordinate amount of time thinking about rhythms, patterns, and synchronization at the local level, how these things create conscious individuals and their machine counterparts, the idea of a non clock based global synchronization simulator occupies the other end of the spectrum. It’s the goal, the final destination.

There are going to be people who complain about the accuracy or precision of the data, but what I love most is the creator did what one must do, and that’s start with some sort of model, the simpler the better.

People who use sleep trackers for example, the global sleep count is like a strange attractor to calibrate against. Again, crazy to the point of impossible in terms of size/scope but directionally it’s the right path to pursue. Even if we don’t see it completed in our lifetime.
