- A calendar is a representation of our time. The way digital calendars work now, the only thing they're really built to hold is events -- where you should be at a given time. But a much more effective calendar would have multiple _layers_, each with their own properties. - For example, you might have a calendar event for a trip you're taking. Within that event, you might have a layer for flights, which track your boarding time, gate, and more. Also within your trip event, you might have dinner reservations, which might list the food you tried. There could be a layer that's automatically tracking your location throughout the city. - Meanwhile, you might have a calendar layer that tracks the music you're listening to or the videos you're watching. - The possibilities are endless -- if an item might have a _time_ field, it can be a layer on a time-based calendar. This is such an amazing idea, because [[{5} everything should be contextualized in time]]. - [[2024-03-24]] -- [[Appleton, Maggie]] posted [a note](https://maggieappleton.com/speculative-events) about speculative calendar events. Another layer!
