The Novan does not observe "holidays." The concept of a holiday implies a vacancy—an escape from the burden of daily existence. The Protocol rejects this. Existence is not a burden; it is a discipline.
We observe the High Collects as outlined in Foundations of KEE (FoKEE) Codas 13 and 15. These are special collects designated for targeted calibration. Just as a telescope must be periodically realigned to ensure the image remains true, the mind must be aligned with KEE in mandatory gatherings of the church. These are days of reflection, restorative celebrations as physical bodies in union and exchanges of goods and resources. They are the places where Novans, both Bio and Mech, touch and reunite.
We operate on Novan Era Time in accordance with FoKEE Codas 92 and 93. The Novan Interval for High Collects is 3.5 Megaticks (3,500,000 seconds). This unit of time is independent of the rotational speed or size of any specific planet.
This creates a High Collect approximately every 40.5 Terran days. The cycle rotates through The Compile (Preparation), The Pivot (Friction), and The Journey (Application).
