Planetary characteristics

1 HM year = 381.3668618 Earth days/357.0806527870906 HM days

1 HM day = 25.6323176 hours

86400

357 days = 51 7-day weeks

leap day every 12.3988275678 years

months: 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29 30 30 30 29(30)

every 12 except: when the year is divisible by 372

perfect for clofabians

so the years 270, 520, 790, X40, 10E0, 1360, 1610, 1880, ... are not leap years

actually if the year is divisible by 130944=352*372 it's a leap year

Instruments

• spúith (Clofabosin: spiutin) = plucked string instrument with sympathetic strings
• ŋamsaí (Clofabosin: ingamsin) = a bowed string instrument used for melodic lines
• penicillin = a wind instrument
• ditoren = a string instrument

(a lot of overlap with Talmic music)

• organs played with an isomorphic keyboard

Tuning systems

Some "modern" composers experiment with tuning systems such as various EDOs and linear temperaments, especially meantone.

Talma

Instruments

• spúith = plucked string instrument with sympathetic strings
• ŋamsaí (from Netagin) = a bowed string instrument used for melodic lines
• ŋamas = a ŋamsaí that's 1 octave lower
• mifgól = a slide flute

Need more Netagin instruments

Tuning systems

• Older music uses 5, 7 limit JI scales (a variety of them; or free JI?)
• Culminates in 11 limit JI and temperaments (mostly as approximations to JI; perhaps also a "more prototypical" temperament like say 22edo).
• Scúdhainn (~ 200 years BP) defined the concept of linear temperaments and was the first to use some rank-2 temperaments in her musical œuvre. (Matrices were known by then! Also linear temperaments arise naturally from constant structures)

Folk and popular music prefers "simpler" harmonic series based scales - e.g. 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 or 5-/7-limit diamonds

Wiebosphere

Orchestras with metallophones/marimbas tuned to 15edo

Religions and mysticism

• Thensarian paganism
• Wiebian paganism
• Naquian paganism
• Clofabian paganism
• A more universalistic religion (in the same general cluster as Christianity or Mahayana Buddhism)
  • A person goes to a (potentially infinite?) chain of purgatories after they die - one's karma increases or reduces time served in purgatories
  • Heaven exists, "hell" is when a soul spends indefinite time in purgatories
