CANONICAL NORMATIVE
The Eight Times · T
The Calendarium defines eight Times, T-1 through T-8.
Within each nine-LX cycle, T follows 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8. The eighth and ninth positions therefore both carry T-8.
This repetition is intentional and canonical. It must not be interpreted as an error, a civil hour, or a physical subdivision of a day. The complete function of the double T-8 occurrence requires a separate development.
Canonical mapping for position j in a nine-position cycle: T(j) = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,8][j]. Rationale status: RATIONALE RESERVED: rule established, full explanation deferred.
