The construction of this 'home' was started in the 51st (ordinal) year
after the end of the Second World War.
Altho
this latter event has no immediate bearing on the present context, it is
an event of major international significance and recognized as real by
all regardless of religious, nonreligious or political persuasion.
A year like 51 ASWW is used here in all documents as
part of a three-number five-digit code.
The first number of this code is the year number, the second the week
number, and the third the (week)day number.
While the year number is more or less inclusive in that it is not based on
any religious ethnically, territorially or otherwise exclusivist
calendar, the week and day numbers are genuinely neutral-inclusive
in that they are based on the truly global and globally relevant
Quaternary Metric Calendar.
The five-digit Year-Week-Day code is the most practical, and given
that one always knows the year and the day of the week, easiest to
remember as the week number remains the same for seven days.
The alternative six-digit Year-Month-Day code is less easy to
remember, because even tho one will know the year and the month,
the day number changes every day. The YMD code is more formal and
suitable for special occasions. When the name instead of the
number of the metric month is used it acquires a solemn quality.

new dating system
can be found in the TRINPsite building.
Perhaps, some people may claim or think that it is not normal to reject
'the' contemporary dating system on
denominational
grounds and to start using an alternative system on your own or in a small
group.
But, then, it is these very same people who slavishly and faithfully follow
—and who consider it perfectly normal to follow— the system of
someone who rejected a contemporary dating system on denominational grounds
and who started using an alternative system on 'er own. That person was
Dionysius Exiguus in whose
Christianist Era most of the year 51 ASWW is styled "Anno Domini 1996".
Amen!
