It could be 5.273 gazzortinblatts each one of which is 175 nilbots
Those are no less nor no more arbitrary than hours minutes and seconds.
Dividing a day into 24 parts and each part into 60 smaller parts is arbitrary
Why not ten hours each of which consists of 100 minutes and each minute is 100 seconds? All we have to do is settle on the duration of a second to make that work perfectly.it’s all arbitrary.
The day, the year and lunar month are naturally imposed upon us. The other measures are man made, artificial and arbitrary.
“Why not ten hours each of which consists of 100 minutes and each minute is 100 seconds.”
If you take the circumfrence of the earth, and mark a point on the surface, and stand on the moon and see how long it takes for that same point to reappear - how wait, you’d need an “artificial” measuring rod to measure that circumfrence. LOL, so there is no measuring a “day”, none at all.
Guess what, you’re wrong.
The circumfrence of the earth is what it is, and that is a natural thing. And the speed of its rotation is what it is and that is a natural cycle, and it is very regular even if pnly minutely variable. And because those two things are real and natural, you can use “gazzortinblatts” or whatever you want, it will be possible to mathematically express your measurment in “gazzortinblatts” into hours. Whether in “gazzortinblatts” or hours, the natural cycle of the earth’s rotation is what it is.
And, when you take those measures - the eatth’s circumfrence and the speed of its rotatation - and you want to define the regularity of the cycle of rotation, and you want to evenly space out that cycle in division that make sense, according to that circumfrence and that speed, (1) you will pick some starting point - like the sun nearly directly overhead at the equator, and (2) “count the number of “gazzortinblatts” till that point is reached again, and guess what, any good mathametician will easily show your X “gazzortinblatts” is equal to 24 hours. Why is that naturally mathematically possible? Because the circumfrence is what it is and the speed of the rotation is what it is, whether in your “gazzortinblatts” or in hours.
if you want to invent your own world and measure it in “gazzortinblatts”, go ahead.
