A clock is a recurrent process and a counter.

A good clock is one which, when used to measure other recurrent processes, finds many of them to be periodic.

An ideal clock is a clock (i.e., recurrent process) that makes the most other recurrent processes periodic.

— Wikipedia on Clock

The ideal clock itself is a meta-clock — a property of a set of clocks.
