New Cadent System (different from TGM)

The other problem with TGM is that the maz or pondus is too large.

I modified the cadent system a bit where the pondus is 1/12 the old pondus.

Here is a table of SI conversion for old and new cadent systems

Leap Seconds

If you did not know, sometimes, 1 second is added to the day. I am going to say how this effects dozenal clocks.

There are 2 ways a computer can store dozenal time: Integer Hours and Tems, or Dozenal Hours truncated to 4 places. Because of this, there are 2 possible outcomes.

Here are the outcomes:

Sexagesimal

23:59:60

Dozenal, outcome 1

1E;10000

(There are not supposed to be 5 digits)

Dozenal, outcome 2

20;0000

I think i would go for the second one, as long as they change it from 1 second to 6 tems.

However, this problem may not happen for much longer because they are trying to get rid of leap seconds, anyway.

Dozenal Calculator 2;0 is here!

New Features:

  • Complex Numbers (making this the first dozenal calculator application to do so)
  • Trigonometry in multiple angle units: radians (2pi in a circle), degrees (260; in a circle), turns (1 in a circle),  Halfturns (2 in a circle) and dozigon (400; in a circle).
  • Scientific Notation
  • Rounding to the nearest bipar
  • Getting the fractional part of a number
  • Removed custom precision

The final naming scheme I go by for dozenal numbers

Let me explain this one in a table:

(I didn't make this up completely)

Dozenal Name
X Ten
E Eleven
10 Dozen
11 One Dozen One
EE Eleven Dozen Eleven
100 One Gross
1,000 One Great Gross
10,000 One Dozen Great Gross
100,000 One Gross Great Gross
1,000,000 One Dillion
1,000,000,000 One Bidillion

The good thing about this scheme is, (for numbers less than one dillion) The naming is (technically) already correct in modern english

I give up any of my naming schemes for dozenal numbers

I came up with a system for naming dozenal numbers, but that system will be abandoned.

I think it makes more sense to use the most popular convention (do/gro/mo).

Alternate unit names

TGM (now called the Cadent System or TTP due to renamed units) is scaled by prefixes, but not everyone necessarily has the time to say the unit names like "unciatandem", so here are some alternate names:

Length

triquatandem: Li
unciatandem: Tandem inch

Mass

biquapondus: Cadent ton
unciapondus: Lib
biciapondus: Lib ounce

Volume

unciacirduct: Jug
biciacirduct: cup
triciacirduct: tablespoon

Area

square biquatandem: Acre

Simple proof that 1/3 terminates in dozenal

This isn't necessarily a proposal for a new idea, but it is relevant.

Someone told me that dozenal does not work because 1/3 = 0.333333333...

That might sound pretty dumb (I mean, it is), but I'm pretty sure there are many other people like this, so let me prove them wrong.

English Names for dozenal numbers (revised again)

See this for the previous proposal

I'ts basically the same, except:


  • I ditched "duna" and "trin", and I am going for "gross" and "megross" instead
  • The "-zen" thing is now the entire number, not a different form (so "twozen", not "twenzen")
(I was going to abandon this idea for the do/gro/mo thing, but mine sounds a lot more natural)

Example

123,456,789,XE0 would be One gross and twozen three bidillion, four gross and fivezen six dillion, seven gross and eightzen nine megross, ten gross and elzen

English Names for dozenal numbers (revised)

I talked about this before in a previous blog post, but since then, I changed some things.

Here is my system of naming numbers.

The System

1 through nine are, of coarse, the same, but X; is pronounced "ten", and E; is pronounced "el".

10; is pronounced "zen", rather than "doh".

I created a "zeen" system for 11;-1E;, similar to "teen"

11; is "onezeen"

12; is "twozeen"

13; is "threezeen"

14; is "fourzeen"

...

for 20;-90;, it uses the current decimal notation, except you replace "-ty" with "-zen", though it does have a few differences.

therefore

20; = "twenzen"

30; = "thirzen"

40; = "forzen"

50; = "fivzen"

60; = "sixzen"

70; = "sevzen"

80; = "eightzen"

90; = "ninezen"

X0; = "teenzen" (in Old English, 100 (decimal) was "teenty")

E0; = "elzen"

100; is called "one duna" (from TGM), instead of "one gross" because
1. Grosses aren't common
2. "duna" sounds better

*1,000 is "one trin" (from TGM)

TGM calls *10,000 "quedra", but my system calls it "zen trin", because it is structurally similar to the decimal "ten thousand".
*100,000 is "one duna trin".

*1,000,000 is "one dillion" (short for "dozenal million")

*1,000,000,000 is not "one billion", but "one bidillion" (well, because "billion" is decimal).

You can always generate new dillions using systematic dozenal nomenclature


Dozenal Places

Officially, you say it similar to decimal, so 0;01 is officially "one dunith".

The semicolon seperator is called a dosc (dozenal simicolon), so it would unofficially be "zero dosc O one" or "zero dosc zero one".

Comparison with decimal

So, lets say the number "1,234,567".

If read as a decimal value, it would be "one million, two hundred and thirty four thousand, five hundred and sixty seven".

If read using my dozenal English naming scheme, it would be "one dillion, two duna and thirzen-four trin, five duna, and sixzen-seven".
