# KAIOS V8.3 Civilization Time Engine

**Version:** V8.3  
**Status:** Draft for Review / Time Simulation Prototype  
**Level:** KAIOS Time Runtime Architecture  
**Base:** KAIOS V8.2 Civilization Economy Engine  
**Scope:** World Clock, Simulation Tick, day/night cycle, season system, citizen behavior, business behavior, temple activity, resource regeneration, population growth, event engine, disaster standard, governance response, schemas, examples, runtime, read-only viewers and release reports.

## Purpose

KAIOS V8.3 adds time to the KGEN civilization system. V8.0 defined asset entry, V8.1 defined living data, and V8.2 defined economy. V8.3 makes civilization move.

Civilization is no longer a static graph. Every Temple, Land, Residence, Citizen, Profession, Business, Market, Exchange, Bank, Player, NPC, AI and App must have a Time State so it can grow, decay, regenerate, consume, work, rest, react to events and produce governance signals.

## Added Canon

```text
One Civilization -> One Clock
One Clock -> Many Ticks
One Tick -> Many Entity Updates
Many Entity Updates -> One Timeline
One Timeline -> One Civilization Evolution
```

## Time Layers

```text
Universe Time
  -> Civilization Time
    -> World Time
      -> Temple Time
        -> Business Time
          -> Citizen Time
```

## Entity Time Requirement

Every V8.3 time-aware entity must define:

- `entity_id`
- `entity_type`
- `time_state`
- `last_tick`
- `next_tick`
- `age`
- `cycle`
- `activity_state`
- `energy_state`
- `decay_state`
- `event_state`
- `governance_signal`
- `status`

## Boundary

V8.3 is Concept / Prototype / Simulation unless future governed releases promote a module to Production. It does not operate live markets, wallets, real banking, regulated services, emergency systems or real-world disaster response. War, disaster, investment, bank and exchange terms are simulation vocabulary only.
