Ahhh, I see. A term for that type of cycle. AFAIK it's a "cycle". If you had a set of single unique digits for 24 occurrances, then you'd have a base. Or 60. Or you can borrow the technique from base 16.
Base 12 =
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C
None of the clocks have a unique digit for all 24, is my point. When you're using Arabic numbers, you're still using base 10. Roman numerals are a completely different animal.

Oh but on a 24 hour clock....and I see you've noticed that I deleted/redrafted my response, ha. I'll wait.
@Subumbral
If you'll but look at the numerals, you can clearly see that the mnumbers are base 10. 1 is not zero and neither is 12, and we're talking about a 12-hour dial when there are 24 hour dials.
And we're not talking about Roman numeral clocks where there's no such thing as a zero in Roman, but that's how our system of timekeeping started in the "western world".
You would do well to consider that our reckoning of metering out time is Roman based, plus what tweaks we've made since until the point where we define a second as a single cycle of the frequency of a certain atomic vibration, and for that see also The National Bureau of Standards.

Plant propagation through cuttings continues to be wild to me. You can break a plant, and if you take a little care of the pieces, you've now got many!
Had planted this cutting, maybe 6 inches tall then, last January. Today it is about 12 feet tall.
Moved other cuttings to various spots in the garden, left one in place right outside my door.

I don't understand how this data visualization doesn't inspire everyone to stand outside Elon's houses and businesses with a torch and a guillotine.
Or at least vote for someone who will tax the motherfucker.
