Cycle

A SlabCycle, or cyke is a period of 100 Slab days or 10 MSeconds.

It is equivalent to approximately 0.31689 Earth Years due to the fact that a Slab day is 15.74% longer than an Earth day (see Time Decimalisation).

Even though certain events are triggered in cycles and places such as Zone61 refer to citizen's ages in cycles, almost no-one celebrates cycle-birthdays, preferring to convert their ages to Earth years and celebrating Earth-style annual events instead. This creates no end of confusion.

For the avoidance of doubt, an Earth year is 3.1556952 cykes - so you can all work it out for yourself. Only you never do, do you? You just ask Sis to give you and all your friends advance warning of the event. It's a good job the Anti-Gift Law is still in force.
