.....These considerations don't apply to Brij's proposal, which is not fully decimal.Is the intention to confuse reformist ideas of METRICATION and hence SI - Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites? Non-linking of Arc-Angle with TIME zones was the problem during French Republical attempt to cause the failure of *decimale time/French Republican Calendar*.
Decimalisation of the HOUR ANGLE (both time & angle) and Mtrication of Time of the Day (and or night) are NOT same and generally *confused among EXPERTS*. There is a need to resolve: What is decimal and what is METRIC - linked to metre, and hence Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites?'
My 24-hour clock attmpting to *Decimalise time of the HOUR and relate this to arc-abgle: by defining METRE New (m') as 1/10^5th of ONE degree are steps in this direction*. A 20-Hour day with 20-time zones i.e. 100 gon "or metric degree to the quadrant (1971-73)* in my base contribution were meant to give 20-metric hours of (5 mm x 20-degree/hour-angle).
Sponsoring *aristitude* as 1/100th of 18-degree arcAngle may seem good for CHURNING the issue but is likely to fail the need of 'Sun-Earth-Moon Motions' as related to planetary bodies and associated issues to re-define the Aristean-METRE linked to Aristean decimal-Time. This is where COST shall be prohibitive to bring about such a change. VIJ proposal is 'simple' and meets the need of French dream to devise *Simplest, Surest and Cheapest, where the Decimal Second (sd) is 36% of SI second and Metre New (m') is 10^5th of ONE degree arcAngle*.

Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!
And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule! ***** ***** ***** *****

Dear Karl and Calendar People,
Thank you for your comments about my proposed new time zones.
I am glad you like the "time zones set 5% of a day apart" which "would seem to be a sensible solution." That is why if we divide a day of 100 units by 5, we come out with 20 subdivisions or time zones.
Karl said: Also I think a decimal unit of angle would be adopted at the same time sa decimal time.
In my proposal, I have shown 360 degrees without the use of 180 degrees east longitude and 180 degrees west longitude. I made it continuous 360 degrees from the International Date Line (IDL) as the reference or prime meridian, counting eastward. I also had thought of making it decimal though, i.e. 100 units starting from IDL. Since you mentioned it, I have modified my webpage to show the decimal subdivision of the zones. To differentiate the 360-degree longitude from the new decimal longitude of 100 units, I named the latter as "aristitude", the short for Aristean longitude.
The peace of the true God be with us now and forever.
Best regards,

Aristeo does make the valid point that, if a decimal time system (like his based on 1/100 of a day), were adopted world wide, we'd need to change our time zones. I don't think time zones with times of 4.16666...% day apart would then be satisfactory.
Time zones set 5% of a day apart would seem to be a sensible solution, but the actual zones do not need to be strictly 18 degrees wide any more than today's times zones are strictly 15 degrees wide. States would choose what time zone they like, but a multiple of 5% of day day different from UT (or some other standard) would be the most likely choice.
Also I think I decimal unit of angle would be adopted at the same time as decimal time.
These considerations don't apply to Brij's proposal, which is not fully decimal.
