Your concept of "absolute time" might be well-informed by first reading On the Chronometry and Metrology of Computer Network Timescales and their Application to the Network Time Protocol (http://www.cis.udel.edu/~mills/database/papers/time.pdf) by David L. Mills. You may find his use of the term epoch to be worth reuse.
