1. A system comprising:
a first clockable articulation insert for a seat, wherein the first clockable articulation insert is configured to be rotated and removably inserted into any particular rotated position of two or more rotated positions, wherein the seat comprises:
a seat pan;
a cross piece coupled to the seat pan, the cross piece configured with two terminal ends; and
a seat frame comprising two spreader bars each configured to receive the first clockable articulation insert, wherein the first clockable articulation insert comprises comprising:
a base portion configured to insert within a cavity of each of the spreader bars at the two or more rotated positions, the base portion comprising an outer wall configured to physically engage with side walls of the cavity and configured to restrict rotation between the base and the cavity; and
a face portion comprising a guide slot configured to receive a terminal end of the cross piece, p2 wherein the guide slot is configured to guide a movement of the cross piece, wherein the movement comprises a rake, a tilt, or a translation of the seat pan relative to the seat frame and is determined by the position of the terminal end of the cross piece within the guide slot, wherein an articulation profile is determined by a rotated position of the base portion, wherein the articulation profile includes at least one of a range of tilt, a range of rake, or a range of extension of the seat pan relative to the seat frame; and
wherein the two or more rotated positions determine a first articulation profile set that comprises a set of articulation profiles,
wherein the outer walls are configured as a polygon having three or more sides.
