People will travel through it, from room to room. As they enter into the mountain, into a tunnel, they'll see more and more finely carved rooms and each room will have a mechanism, a part of the clock and it'll start kind of being these confusing mechanisms that you won't really understand how they might work, or might be a part of the thing. But then as you move through it you'll finally get to the final room that shows the display. That will be the kind of moment of clarity and then you'll be released back out into the world. |
Since we can look back that far in technology, that's about how long we should be looking forward in technology. |
The idea is to use digital, mechanical math so that as time goes by, it doesn't drift as it does with analog gears. So, our clock uses binary math, where we get to program any number, and get a digitally accurate number out of it, but with mechanics so that it's much more understandable to someone who comes up and looks at it. |
