Current year in Perplex City is 269 AC. Years are the same length as Earth years, with the same months and dates.
{{Shortcut|T:H}}
 
Years are designated with "BC" and "AC", originally thought to refer to "Before Cube" and "After Cube".  Though with the [[Receda Cube]] only being discovered in 7AC (1744) this is unlikely. [http://wiki.incognitus.net/mirror/ppc/www.perplexcityacademy.com/29.04.05/museum2.html Cube History]

2006 on Earth corresponds to 269AC in Perplex City. Perplex City years are the same length as Earth years, with the same months and dates.  The years are designated with "BC" and "AC".  See [[Calendar]] for more on this topic.


Also note, we know of a number of periods of time which have been referred to, though we dont have a good sense of when these happened.  These include:

2006 on Earth corresponds to 269AC in Perplex City. Perplex City years are the same length as Earth years, with the same months and dates. The years are designated with "BC" and "AC". See Calendar for more on this topic.

Also note, we know of a number of periods of time which have been referred to, though we dont have a good sense of when these happened. These include:

  • Pre-Hausam period - seems to be about two to three thousand years ago, during the early settlement period of the region.
  • The War - took place just before the Modern Era.
  • Parencycle period of architecture - took place around the early 100s, and includes the Milamont Theatres
  • Resurgence period - seems to be about one to two hundred years ago. Probably this was the period of reconstruction after the War ravaged the city.

The Height of The War

5 BC 1732 Cycling Research Efforts

February

Lancewood Labs open, on Hobbs Island, Lancewood Archipelago, Vianne Adamek present.

March 4th

First sample arrives PR1 Lancewood Labs. Intense optical and magnetic observation, using resonance imaging.

March 4th

Label in PRI (Lancewood Labs) "Specimens" shipment, from Viendenbourg, to Lancewood. Test materials, one assumes.

March 10th

Lancewood Labs achieve max coherence 0.17s. "Must increase - exponential effects."

March 12th

Lancewood Labs achieve max coherence 0.2s.

June 2nd

Lancewood Labs achieve max coherence 1.3s "but power spikes. Change silicon doping?"

July

Lancewood Labs - "Doping began last month .... increases coherence time, easier control."

November

Lancewood Labs - "Breakthrough! Molecular processors. Must interface with own systems to dampen loops. Coherence at 9s."

late in the year

Memo from Edwina Mountling Head of Lancewood to Vianne Adamek. Lancewood Labs achieve 10s coherence by doping with other compounds. More programmers requested from the Perplex City Academy.

year end

Lancewood Labs - Material Research and Control Project receive present from Academy Computer Science Division.
4 BC 1733

April

"Site survey and inspection. By Dr. Malcolm Kennard, Academy Exploratory Research Scientist and Military Liaison," of Lancewood Lab.

June

Lancewood level 3 excavated.

October

Parts for "anti-air battery" arrive at Lancewood.
2 BC 1735

June

Lancewood Labs become "self-sufficient" in power.

November

Lancewood Labs - More material required. Beginning to reach physical limits. "Received proposal for combining material with facsimile thought. Even optical connects are too slow - material needs embedded reflexive controller."

December

Anthony Granier proposes "Northern Expedition" to Vianne Adamek. "Must discover method to mine and safely transport more material". Requests political support.
1 BC 1736 GRANIER & WAR CREST

March 10th

Anthony Granier & Edwina Mountling embark on "Northern expedition" belived to be to Viendenbourg.

March 17th

Granier diary - everyone within a 12 mile radius of the experiment will be affected.

March 19th

Granier visits mine, enough material has been extracted, it may prove the salvation of the City.

end March

Granier diary - rain has been stopping mining. Thinks Cube worship is old fashioned.

April

"Problems" with Viehattle. Causes rumbles along border, but ceasefire holds.

April 7th

Granier and Mountling pick 2 male subjects who will die as a result of the experiment.

April 8th

Granier diary - experiment conducted, awful spectacle.

April 13th

Granier diary - Mountling concludes from readings taken during the experiment that the "entire place will be destroyed".

April 21st

Granier and Mountling have become involved.

April 29th

Mountling confesses to Granier that "Your master I believe does not wish that our experiments here should benefit only the city. To be blunt, my lord, I have been sent here to ensure that certain matters, certain elements of knowledge should be kept only for her, and for the group of loyal scholars she has formed. She wishes the power for herself. To do what, I know not."

June

Lancewood Labs - Targeting range and precision improved, but horizon is still unstable, and functioning is highly susceptible to electromagnetic? fields. Engineers state that 'facsimile thought processors are so small they can be overwhelmed by the material's functions'.

September

First mass material shipment, from Viendenbourg, to Lancewood.

December

Dr Kennard and Dr Cook die in an accident. Other safety lapses are reported. Vianne Adamek assigns Anthony Granier to replace Kennard, with "full adinistrative authority", reporting directly to Adamek. The 'General Purpose Self-Contained Material System (Cubic)' project requires massive resources and involves many people outside Lancewood. Edwina Mountling to retain authority over scientific areas.

December

A group of Viehattle spies discovered at Lancewood Labs. Jonathan Sikander leaks information and is sentenced to execution on Granier's orders. Mary and David Ward confined and "aggressively questioned". Viehattle ends the cease-fire, joins with Anjsbourg, and declares war on Perplex City. Military intelligence at the time suggests this is connected to the leaked info on Lancewood's materials research.

December 21

Solstice of the Cube. Sikander is executed by firing squad. The Wards are confined.
0 AC 1737 WAR END

January

Anthony Granier arrives at Lancewood, and becomes Government Liaison for the Lancewood Labs.

February

Construction of GP-SCMS (the General Purpose Self-Contained Material System [Cubic]) begins. Some scientists call it the 'Cube'. Mountling states that "Our last attempt at compensating for EM interference failed, so I had no choice but to authorise construction of the Quiet Room. Woad will not be happy, but Adamek assures me she can deal with her."

March

Vianne Adamek visits the Quiet Room. She and Mountling discuss the Cube's capability for thought.

May 1st

Reports from spies in Viehattle indicate that the enemy has "set objects in the firmament. These weapons defy all natural law. We must now live in constant fear of what may drop upon us from the very skies."

July 13th

Granier announces "a triumph worthy of all we have dreamed!" He makes plans to leave Lancewood with some of his colleagues (sans Edwina Mountling) and go to 'the City'.

August

Viendenbourg falls to Viehattle after fierce fighting, according to the Vanguard newspaper.

Date unknown

Catbite Gorge created, devasting a huge section of the city.

Date unknown

End of The War; Beginning of the "modern" era.
