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 October 30 as a calendar date with weekday computation, observances attributed to their traditions and sourced events.

October 30, day 303 (day 304 in leap years) of the year in the Gregorian calendar, with 62 days remaining in both common and leap years. October 30 is the anniversary of the 1938 War of the Worlds radio broadcast by Orson Welles, of the Mudros armistice ending Ottoman participation in the First World War in 1918, of the Tsar Bomba test in 1961, of the assassination of Hungarian prime minister Istvan Tisza in 1918 and, in 1974, of the Rumble in the Jungle boxing match in Kinshasa.

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.
