Reconstitution

First Appearance and Context

The Reconstitution is referenced during an Ordinal aut at Provener inside the Mynster. In that setting, the community’s liturgy recapitulates its past by first reviewing what occurred “before the Reconstitution,” then proceeding forward through later developments within the concent.

Description and Role

Within mathic accounts, the Reconstitution marks a threshold after the The Terrible Events. Following that upheaval, the long‑standing Hylaean Anathem was revived in a new form centered on the winding of the great clock during Provener. The term functions as a historical divider used in teaching and ceremony, orienting narratives and practice relative to this turning point.

• Since the Reconstitution, avout observers have recorded multiple decade‑scale upheavals; one account notes forty‑eight such instances, two culminating in Sacks.

Dating and Usage

The Reconstitution serves as the epoch for year counts labeled “A.R.” used in calendars and reference works. A 4th‑edition Dictionary is dated “A.R. 3000,” and during a conversation with an artisan it is affirmed that both intramuros and extramuros calendars recognize the same A.R. count. At the time described, the current year is 3689 A.R., with 3690 imminent.

Relationships and Functions

• Serves as a reference epoch for liturgy and history inside the maths, shaping how stories and studies are organized (pre‑ versus post‑Reconstitution).
• Tied to the physical and ceremonial focus on the Mynster’s mechanisms, since the clock‑centered revival occurs through works housed in the Praesidium.
• Associated with ongoing communal rhythms observed by avout at Provener, which visibly enact the continuity claimed after the Reconstitution.

Current Status

The Reconstitution remains a standard point of reference in current liturgy and instruction. Further particulars—causes, scope, and exact reforms—have not yet been detailed in the narrative.
