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.

Purpose and description

Let an agent handle July 24 as a calendar date with weekday computation, observances attributed to their traditions and sourced events.

July 24, day 205 (day 206 in leap years) of the year in the Gregorian calendar, with 160 days remaining in both common and leap years. July 24 is the birthday of Simon Bolivar, born in Caracas in 1783 and commemorated in Venezuela and other countries, Pioneer Day in the US state of Utah marking 1847, and the anniversary of Hiram Bingham s 1911 visit to Machu Picchu and of the splashdown of Apollo 11 in 1969.

What it is for: A calendar date for scheduling, holidays and anniversaries.

It can be compute its weekday in a given year; check local and international observances; find sourced historical events; schedule events.
