It's the yearly cycle of the sun. And that cycle (and >> fractions of it) can be used to synchronize anything. you missed completely that the point that was discussed is, was it possible that sundials with many faces display time on different planets of different solar systems. They have different suns and yearly cycle of the sun cannot be used to synchronize anything - again, wormholes have nothing to do with the sundial Severian finds in the Atrium of Time, it was just an old sundial. Best Sergei ---
