Based on the idea of cycles and the Quun Tirtoir (infinite staircase) of [[Lolion]], the calendar conceptualizes history as "revolutions" of the spiral. The spiral does not turn by itself, but instead must be turned by the deeds of the living. Each important event turns the spiral farther, thus leading to the movement of time. Time stops if great deeds are not accomplished. From this idea comes the common phrase, prevalent in many Continent languages, "turn time", which means to change the world in a significant way.
