AlphaDec: A Timezone-Agnostic Time Format for Humans, Machines, and AI
2025-07-28
AlphaDec is a novel time format designed to eliminate timezone conversion headaches, allowing global understanding of time. It encodes UTC time into easily readable and sortable strings like 2025_L0V3, featuring a hierarchical structure for efficient time-range queries and data indexing. Especially AI-friendly, its structured nature makes it a powerful tool for time-based reasoning and log analysis. While a minor time drift exists in leap years, this is a deliberate trade-off to ensure its deterministic function of UTC. AlphaDec isn't meant to replace existing systems but to complement them, making them more practical across various applications.
