The only scientifically accurate one I know of, has started with
1972-something, and counts seconds (alas, it's a 32-bit counter). If it
comes to clustering, we should use a binary counter, this is most logical
order I am aware of. (And it better had be a large one, let's count
microseconds with a 128 bit counter).
Since we're going to have ubiguitous GPS/LPS systems, we'll soon be able
to fix space at cm or better, and time at microsecond, or better anywhere
on Earth or LEO.
Such knowledge is crucial for routing, whether material agents or data
(geodetic routing).
Consider an augmented reality, with realtime 3d headup maps (DMD), and
DGPS/Earth magnetic field/gravity tracking. These are things we'll have
in a decade, or sooner. (Some of us, much sooner).
