It really seems like you're just describing time zones. Or do you mean that we should be even more granular about it and have personal timezones that adjust depending on where we are on the globe? That just seems like timezones with extra steps

nope, i'm describing timezones, but instead of shifting time, we shift local solar time instead.

You could call them timemaps or time offset mapping, on a more macro scale.

This is the same fucking thing. It is simultaneously 12:25am MDT and 6:25am GMT where I live. If you ask my computer what time it is, it knows it is 06:25:00-06:00.

Two sides of the same coin buddy.

yes, except it's not the only time system we use, the primary time system we use is universal now.
