Fall

a fall is approximately the period of time during which the Plummetcompletes one fall in the sky. A fall's length is calculated by the time it takes for the Plummet to fall from the top Barrier of the universe to the bottom one.

the first part of a fall, known as High Fall, begins when the Plummet falls below the mirrored image of the continent seen through the upper barrier of the universe. it ends when the Plummet is halfway between the continent and its mirrored image. most people chose to stay awake and live their lives during this period, and they eat dinner at the end of it, while those few who live during Low Fall arise at the same time. the time when the Plummet is a quarter of the way down is called mid High, also known as noon. the beginning of the first quarter is called High Fall. When the Plummet is three-quarters of the way down it is called mid Low.
