Welcome to the technical documentation for GAL-2, the world’s first fractal time correction layer. Here you will find detailed explanations of its architecture, algorithms, integration guides, benchmarks, and implementation for critical synchronization systems worldwide.

GAL-2 is composed of a set of internal components designed to support time correction, alignment, and continuity across distributed systems.
The architecture is organized around the following functional modules:
CAMI (Correction and Alignment Module for Integration)Responsible for coordinating correction logic and ensuring alignment between internal time representations and external system interfaces.
Aria (Adaptive Relay for Integrated Access)Provides adaptive routing and access coordination between GAL-2 components and connected systems.
Emma (Emitter of Modular Metronomic Alignment)Manages timing emission and pacing mechanisms used to support consistent system behavior.
CHAR (Coordinated Harmonic Alignment Relay)Handles coordination and alignment across distributed nodes and internal processes.
YO-EL5 (Operational Coordination Layer)Acts as an internal control and orchestration layer responsible for maintaining system coherence and operational continuity.
Together, these components form an internal architecture that enables GAL-2 to manage time alignment and continuity in a structured, modular, and deployable manner.
GAL-2 is designed to integrate alongside existing NTP and PTP infrastructures, GNSS receivers, and enterprise timing systems without disrupting established workflows.
Rather than replacing existing protocols, GAL-2 operates as a temporal alignment layer that preserves coherence when reference quality degrades, becomes intermittent, or is unavailable. This enables continued operation under partial isolation, degraded GNSS conditions, or extended holdover scenarios.
Installation and integration focus on minimal operational friction, predictable behavior, and compatibility with regulated and mission critical environments. Detailed configuration examples and deployment guidance are provided as part of the GAL-2 developer documentation.
The interfaces shown below are illustrative examples intended to demonstrate integration patterns and response structure only.
They do not expose internal correction logic, tuning parameters, or authoritative timing mechanisms. Actual system behavior, precision characteristics, and alignment decisions are governed internally by GAL-2 and may differ from simplified examples.
Public-facing endpoints are designed for observability and compatibility, not for direct control of the alignment engine.
GAL-2 has been evaluated through a combination of controlled laboratory experiments and long-duration operational runs designed to observe temporal behavior under varying reference conditions.
Laboratory validation focused on stability, continuity, and response characteristics using standard timing instrumentation and comparison frameworks. These evaluations examined how the system behaves when external references are present, degraded, or intentionally removed, with emphasis on long-term drift containment rather than short-term disciplining.
In addition to laboratory testing, GAL-2 has been exercised in extended real-world operating conditions, including multi-day continuous runs without reliance on GNSS, atomic clocks, or external correction signals. These runs were designed to observe emergent temporal coherence, continuity preservation, and bounded divergence over time.
The observable performance of GAL-2 arises from the interaction between its theoretical framework and system architecture, particularly under conditions of partial isolation or reference loss. Public documentation therefore emphasizes system behavior and empirical outcomes, while detailed mathematical derivations, internal algorithms, and implementation specifics remain part of the internal design of the platform.
The benchmark figures shown below are indicative and provided for comparative illustration purposes only.
Measurements reflect internal testing configurations and controlled scenarios and should not be interpreted as standardized compliance metrics or third-party certified performance claims.
Actual system behavior depends on deployment architecture, reference availability, and operating conditions, particularly under degraded or GNSS-denied environments.
*Detailed datasets, methodology, and long-duration stability results are published separately as scientific records and are not fully represented by summary tables.
GAL-2 is designed for systems where temporal coherence, ordering, and auditability must be preserved even when physical time references become unreliable, degraded, or unavailable.
Distributed ledgers and transaction systemsPreserves coherent ordering and verifiable timelines during network partitions, clock drift, or reference loss, enabling reliable post-incident reconciliation.
GNSS-denied or degraded environmentsMaintains internally consistent system timelines for defense, aerospace, and critical infrastructure operating without trusted external time sources.
Edge and autonomous systemsEnsures deterministic temporal ordering across nodes that may operate intermittently offline or under asymmetric network conditions.
Audit, compliance, and forensicsProvides a governed temporal layer that supports traceability, log integrity, and post-event analysis when wall-clock time cannot be fully trusted.
Resilient cloud and distributed infrastructureComplements existing NTP and PTP deployments by preserving coherent timelines during failover, isolation, or re-merging events.
These use cases emphasize GAL-2’s role as a temporal authority and continuity layer, operating alongside physical synchronization systems rather than replacing them.
GAL-2 is designed to integrate with modern enterprise security practices and cloud-native deployment models. Security controls are applied at the transport, authentication, and integrity layers, and can be adapted to meet the requirements of different environments.
Communications securityGAL-2 supports encrypted transport using industry-standard mechanisms such as TLS. Deployment configurations may include mutual authentication depending on operational requirements.
Authentication and access controlAccess to GAL-2 APIs can be governed through API keys, certificates, or identity-based controls, allowing integration with existing IAM and zero-trust architectures.
Integrity and replay protectionThe system is designed to support integrity verification and replay resistance through authenticated messaging and request validation, ensuring consistent and verifiable system interactions.
Key managementGAL-2 is compatible with standard key management practices, including integration with cloud-managed key services or hardware-backed security modules when required.
These security mechanisms are intended to support confidentiality, authenticity, and integrity of GAL-2 interactions within the context of a broader system security architecture.
GAL-2 is designed to operate alongside existing international time and networking standards, enabling interoperability without requiring changes to established protocols or infrastructure.
Rather than implementing or replacing standards such as NTP or PTP, GAL-2 functions as an independent temporal authority layer that complements systems operating within those frameworks.
The system is architected to integrate with environments governed by internationally recognized time references and regulatory guidelines, including those defined by standards bodies and national metrology institutions.
This approach allows GAL-2 to be deployed within regulated and mission-critical environments while preserving compatibility with existing compliance, audit, and operational requirements.
GAL-2 is developed and maintained with a focus on stability, continuity, and controlled evolution. Changes to the system are introduced deliberately to preserve compatibility and operational consistency across deployments.
Versioning practices are used to clearly communicate changes, improvements, and fixes, allowing operators to manage updates according to their own risk and operational requirements.
Updates may include security improvements, performance enhancements, or functional refinements, and are designed to minimize disruption to existing integrations.
Where appropriate, mechanisms are provided to support safe rollback or coexistence with previous versions, enabling gradual adoption and operational confidence in production environments.
These practices are intended to support predictable operation of GAL-2 while allowing the system to evolve alongside the needs of its users and deployment contexts.
