Mathematical vs Historical
Mathematical chronology is the result of studies into the fundamentals of time and chronometry. Historical chronology is mathematical chronology applied to other fields of scholarship or work.
Relative vs Absolute
A relative chronology is one with no relation to our present time. It contains an ordered series of events but there are no indicators of when the order of events occurred.
Relative example: I woke up, ate breakfast, and went to work.
An absolute chronology is a series of events that is fixed in relation to our present time.
Absolute example: On January 15th, 2020, I woke up at 8am, ate breakfast, and got to work at 9am.
Due to the precise temporal information, we can determine how much time has passed between then and now, granted we are still using the same calendar and our clocks still run on the same systems. In this hypothetical situation, even if variations in timekeeping do occur, such as the day being split into hours of different lengths than what we’re currently familiar with, or if the calendars change the months or the number of days in a month.
