Diary 2025-09-12
I did some investigation into stuff I'll need for documenting Impliciula, but I didn't take any of the notes that I need to properly plan it.
I did, however, mess around more with worldbuilding stuff. I'm doing stuff with fictional calendars, and I've got a bunch of fictional but (probably) basically mathematically sound orbital parameters, and I'm using them to work out good patterns of intercalation. I just now wrote some helper functions for dealing with continued fractions. Now I need to work on getting a better idea of how good an approximation needs to be; I've got some approximations that are good in the short term, but start getting notably off after around 300 years, at which point the fact that they used to be good is no consolation.
If I have proper focus tomorrow, I can put in more work on one or both of these, or on one of the other projects I have drifting around. For now, I really need to get to bed.
Good night.
