Abstract

We study the problem of measuring time given strongly limited
resources using Markov chains interpreted as clocks. More
precisely, we assume the existence of an accurate short-scale
time tick and are interested how to measure larger time scales
with informationally limited memory. We use Information
Theory to uncover novel behaviour of clocks with a small state
space.
