## Keeping a common reference

Stardate SIML asks how observers could place events on a shared calendar while keeping their assumptions explicit. The prototype combines a hydrogen-reference counting unit with a declared coordinate frame and a documented calendar origin.

Its interactive explorer separates the choice of a calendar convention from uncertainty about physical history. Synthetic observer records illustrate why local clock readings need calibration and corrections before they can be compared.

## Read the experiment

The release includes code, frozen results, provenance, and a pre-release paper. Its astronomical scenarios are synthetic; the illustrated rewind is a convention rather than a measured reconstruction of Sagittarius A*. The project is a research prototype, not an adopted time standard or a peer-reviewed result.

The original publication is credited to Deep SIML Labs. Richard leads the lab and publishes its research program.
