title: Solstice Run  7-Day Continuous Timing Stability Dataset (Dec 15–22, 2025)

description: This dataset contains the complete raw dataset of the Solstice Run, a continuous 7-day timing experiment conducted from December 15, 2025, to December 22, 2025 (UTC).

The dataset is published precisely as recorded, without any post-processing, filtering, or correction.

 

The run captures high-resolution timestamp series, internal timing coherence, external reference offsets (NTP, Cloudflare Time, Roughtime), solar witness measurements, operational logs, daily cryptographic seals, and final integrity hashes.

 

During the final phase of the run, transient network timeouts and DNS resolution events were logged while querying external reference endpoints. These events were non-fatal, did not disrupt data collection, and did not compromise CSV integrity. The core timing data remained continuous and intact throughout the entire experiment.

 

This record serves as the primary measurement evidence. All analytical metrics (e.g., TIE, MTIE, ADEV, MDEV) are intended to be computed offline as derived artifacts in subsequent releases, utilizing this dataset as the immutable source.

All files are provided exactly as recorded. No post-processing, filtering, or correction has been applied.

After extraction, dataset integrity can be verified by recomputing the master hash from the provided CSV and log hashes:

description: Version 1.1.0 (Analysis Artifacts)

 

This version incorporates derived timing metrics computed offline from the immutable raw dataset released in version 1.0.0 (identical DOI record). Included artifacts are:

 

- TIE series

- MTIE table

- ADEV and MDEV tables

- Log-log plots

- SHA-256 integrity hashes

 

No modifications were applied to the original dataset.
description: This dataset was generated using GAL-2™ (Global Alignment Layer), a software-based time authority designed to maintain continuous internal temporal coherence independent of external timing references.

 

During the Solstice Run, GAL-2™ operated as the primary internal time authority, while external references (NTP, Cloudflare Time, Roughtime) were queried exclusively for comparison and offset measurement.

 

IXOYE™ served as the solar witness layer, providing independent observational alignment data used for external validation, not for time correction or feedback into the system.
description: Additional clarification

No external reference participated in time discipline, correction, steering, or authority decisions during the Solstice Run.

All external sources were queried strictly for observational comparison and offset measurement.

Experimental Objective

 

 

This dataset was produced to evaluate whether a continuous software-based timing system can maintain internal temporal coherence and bounded error over extended durations without relying on external time steering or post-hoc correction.

 

The experiment was designed to observe timing behavior under real-world operating conditions, including intermittent network disruptions, DNS resolution events, and variability in external reference availability, while preserving uninterrupted data collection.

 

The primary objective of the Solstice Run was not to optimize or discipline a clock, but to assess long-term continuity, coherence, and stability of an internally governed timing process across a full seven-day interval.

 

This dataset serves as the immutable measurement record for subsequent offline analysis and independent verification using standard time and frequency stability metrics.
