Keep the week.
Seven continuous weekday positions, so calendars can coordinate across different worlds.
The week does not break ↗THE OPERATING ARCHITECTURE OF TIME
One grammar.
Many worlds.
A calendar is infrastructure. Solarian proposes a coherent way to organise civil time across planets, moons, asteroids and artificial worlds—without giving up the human rhythm of the week.

THE CENTRAL IDEA
The year belongs to the orbit.
The mear belongs to people.
Our current calendar grew up on one planet. Solarian asks what it would look like if humanity designed an operating calendar with the entire Solar System in mind.
Its answer is not a single planetary year imposed everywhere. It is a shared language of weeks, minths, mears and locally meaningful orbital calendars.
