GAL-2™ — A Fractal Layer for Global Time Alignment and Leap-Second Neutralization

We present GAL-2™ (Global Alignment Layer | Fractal Time), a breakthrough framework designed to neutralize leap-second disruptions and continuously correct global temporal drift while preserving solar-digital coherence. Operating as a standards-compatible overlay to UTC/NTP/PTP, GAL-2™ provides smooth, non-disruptive corrections that prevent time desynchronization across distributed systems. By employing a fractal and feedback-driven correction methodology, GAL-2™ maintains continuous global alignment without revealing proprietary constants or internal algorithms. This whitepaper introduces the conceptual foundation, architecture, and validation of the GAL-2™ Framework — a next-generation time alignment system developed in Puerto Rico for the world. 📄 DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17351150
