hour
Let an agent explain the hour as a point of clock time, relay noon and its synonyms and the relation to solar and zone time from timekeeping sources, describe the named terms, and distinguish this sense from the hour as a unit of duration, the time zone and midnight.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
In the WordNet sense used here, the hour is a specific point of clock time, as in the phrase what hour is it, and by extension a particular time of day, with the registry aliases naming noon and its synonyms midday, noonday, noontide and high noon, the point at twelve o clock in the middle of the day; this sense of a clock-time point differs from the hour as a unit of duration of sixty minutes. Clock time and midday depend on time zones and, historically, on local solar time.
Why it exists Filled
Let an agent explain the hour as a point of clock time, relay noon and its synonyms and the relation to solar and zone time from timekeeping sources, describe the named terms, and distinguish this sense from the hour as a unit of duration, the time zone and midnight.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Point of clock time
- Noon and midday synonyms
- Zone and solar dependence
- Distinct from duration
What robots and AI may and may not do Derived, awaiting review
May
- explain the clock-time sense
