Experimenting with possible calendars. There’s lots to play with.
I’ve been tinkering for a while with the various ways we can organize the 365 days of the year. I’ve been focused on the 13-month calendar which divides the year in several ways: 52 x 7-day weeks, which can further be organized by fortnight, month, quarter, and semester; 28 x 13-day weeks, which can further be organized by double, house, quarter, and semester.
There are any number of ways to divide the year: the Gregorian’s irregular 12 months, the more regular 13 months of the Persian calendar, the lunar months of any number of systems, the various market weeks of diverse systems (2-day weeks all the way to 20-day weeks). What else is possible?
I’ve discovered two possible structures: one that reflects the change in daylight throughout the year in the higher latitudes, and the other that is simply an ongoing experiment in trying to evoke a little chaos.
