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.
