🌍 How to Use The Peopleize Equality Cooridination System

The Peopleize World Coordinate System replaces colonial maps and time zones with a simple, equal system for everyone — two numbers for location, one number for time.

🌍 The Starting Point

Since the globe is a circle, we could start anywhere, but we selected this location because it is on the bottom of a large land mass that covers from bottom to top of world, “Africa” (using the colonial name “Africa”). It is next to the South pole (using the colonial name) and toward the North pole (using the colonial name). The river is at this point and the line runs upwards toward the north pole (using the colonial name). Kragga Kamma — the name given to the river by the Khoikhoi people — where the river meets the Ocean. The location that the river flows into the ocean is the landmark along this imagenary DownUp 0.000000 line from south pole to north pole (using the colonial name).

🌍 Your Address

With 6 decimal places, the system locates anything down to 11 centimeters. A house, a door, a meeting point — all just two numbers. No street name, no city, no country needed.

🌍 One System

The Peopleize World Coordinate System uses two numbers to locate any place on Earth. No colonial names. No hemispheres. Just DownUp ↕ and LeftRight ↔.

🌍 From 0 to 360

Both axes go from 0.000000 to 360.000000. One full circle around the Earth. No East/West. No North/South. Just one continuous number line.

🌍 Zero Point

Kragga Kamma is point (0.000000, 0.000000). Everything starts here. No country owns it. It belongs to everyone.

🌍 Example How to Calculate Distance

1. Once You Have Your Peopleize Location:
↕ : 87.970833, ↔ : 14.082778

2. Distance Left/Right:
1 unit = ~111 km at the equator.
At your latitude (54°N): 1 unit = 111 × cos(54°) = 65.25 km

3. Your Distance from 0 Line:
14.082778 × 65.25 km = ~919 km

4. Distance Up/Down:
Vertical distance is simpler:
87.970833 × 111 km = ~9,765 km

Always use:
Distance (km) = value × 111 × cos(latitude)

Enter your colonial coordinates and get your Peopleize location instantly.



🌍 One Time

Earth Uro — one time for everyone. We pick a common starting point (Kragga Kamma) and use the 24-hour spin of Earth. When it is 13:00 Earth Uro at (↕ 0.000000, ↔ 0.000000), it may still be dark at another location. That is fine. Your day starts when you want it to start — not when the colonial system says the sun is up. Everyone knows it is one time on Earth, regardless of where the sun is.

🌍 Equal

Meet me at 10:13 Earth Uro at ↕ : 45.123456, ↔ : 120.567891. That’s it. No country, no city, no street name. Just two numbers and one time.

🌍 Decolonized Time

No colonial names. No “East/West” or “North/South.” Built by people, for people. A system that belongs to no one — and serves everyone.

Stage 0: Intact Supercontinent

Earth’s crust exists as a single unified landmass (Earth Plate 1). A simple way to see where the Earth plate has broken is by looking at mountain ranges (where two plates collide and crumple upward) and volcano chains (where magma escapes through the fractures). Below is the chronological breakdown of how Earth Plate 1 fragmented into the 9 plates we see today.

Stage 1: First Breakup (750,000,000 SunRuns ago)

Earth Plate 1 fractures due to mantle upwelling along zones.

Earth Plate 1 fractures to create → Earth Plate 2 and Earth Plate 3

Mechanism: Mantle upwelling cracks Earth Plate 1 along zones.

Stage 2: Secondary Fragmentation (700,000,000 to 650,000,000 SunRuns ago)

Earth Plate 3 subdivides into two distinct fragments.

Earth Plate 3 split to create → Earth Plate 4 + Earth Plate 5

Now there exists 3 plates: Earth Plate 2, Earth Plate 4, Earth Plate 5 (Earth Plate 1, 3 are gone).

Stage 3: Third Fragmentation (650,000,000 to 600,000,000 SunRuns ago)

Earth Plate 4 develops rifts that creates → Earth Plate 6 and Earth Plate 7.

Earth Plate 5 splits to create → Earth Plate 8 and Earth Plate 9.

Total earth plates numbers: Earth Plate 2, Earth Plate 6, Earth Plate 7, Earth Plate 8, Earth Plate 9.

Earth Plate 1, 3, 4, and 5 are gone.

Stage 4: Fourth Plate Fragmentation (600,000,000 to 500,000,000 SunRuns ago)

Phase 1: Collisions and Initial Rifting
Earth Plate 6 and Earth Plate 7 collide to create → Earth Plate 10.
Earth Plate 8 fractures into → Earth Plate 11 and Earth Plate 14.
Earth Plate 9 fractures into → Earth Plate 16 and Earth Plate 18.

Phase 2: Secondary Rifting (Later in this period):
Earth Plate 10 fractures to create → Earth Plate 15 and Earth Plate 17.
Earth Plate 11 fractures into → Earth Plate 12, Earth Plate 13, and Earth Plate 19.

Final count: 9 major crustal plates by 500,000,000 SunRuns ago.
Total earth plates numbers: Earth Plate 2, Earth Plate 12, Earth Plate 13, Earth Plate 14, Earth Plate 15, Earth Plate 16, Earth Plate 17, Earth Plate 18, and Earth Plate 19.
Earth Plate 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 are gone.

Key Rules of This Naming System

  • Earth Plate 1 = Original whole.
  • Higher numbers = Later fragments (E19 broke after Earth Plate 18).
  • No reuse of numbers (split fragments inherit new IDs).
  • Merged units get new numbers (Earth Plate 6 + Earth Plate 7 → Earth Plate 10).

Why This Works

  • Clear chronology: Earth Plate 1 (oldest) → Earth Plate 19 (youngest).
  • No geographic bias: Numbers avoid colonial names.
  • Adaptable: Add Earth Plate 20, Earth Plate 21, etc. for future breaks.

Mapping Earth Plate History: A Continental Guide

Indigenous peoples are found on every continent and represent a stunning array of human diversity. This document categorizes many of these distinct Communitys by their primary geographical regions. It is important to note that the concept of being “Indigenous” is applied differently across the globe, but commonly refers to the original inhabitants of a region who preserve a unique cultural identity separate from the dominant societies that now surround them.
