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.
