+## Epoch Usage (Epoch Semantic Versioning)
+
+In the standard `bundle gem my_lib` code you get the following in `lib/my_lib/version.rb`:
+
+```ruby
+module MyLib
+  VERSION = "0.1.0"
+end
+```
+
+Change it to a nested `Version` namespace (the one implied by the path => namespace convention):
+
+```ruby
+module MyLib
+  module Version
+    VERSION = "1024.3.8"
+  end
+end
+```
+
+Now add the following near the top of the file the manages requiring external libraries.
+Using the same example of `bundle gem my_lib`, this would be `lib/my_lib.rb`.
+
+```ruby
+require "version_gem"
+```
+
+Then, add the following wherever you want in the same file (recommend the bottom).
+
+```ruby
+MyLib::Version.class_eval do
+  extend VersionGem::Epoch
+end
+```
+
+And now you have some version introspection methods available:
+
+```ruby
+MyLib::Version.to_s # => "1024.3.8"
+MyLib::Version.epoch # => 1
+MyLib::Version.major # => 24
+MyLib::Version.minor # => 3
+MyLib::Version.patch # => 8
+MyLib::Version.pre # => ""
+MyLib::Version.to_a # => [1, 24, 3, 8]
+MyLib::Version.to_h # => { epoch: 1, major: 24, minor: 3, patch: 8, pre: "" }
+```
+
+## Usage with Zeitwerk
 
 The pattern of `version.rb` breaking the ruby convention of directory / path matching the namespace / class
 is so entrenched that the `zeitwerk` library has a special carve-out for it. 🥺

 ## 📌 Versioning
 
-This Library adheres to [![Semantic Versioning 2.0.0][📌semver-img]][📌semver].
+This Library adheres to [![Epoch Semantic Versioning][📌semver-img]][📌semver].
 Violations of this scheme should be reported as bugs.
 Specifically, if a minor or patch version is released that breaks backward compatibility,
 a new version should be immediately released that restores compatibility.
-Breaking changes to the public API will only be introduced with new major versions.
+Breaking changes to the public API, including dropping a supported platform (i.e. minor version of Ruby), will only be introduced with new major versions.
+Epoch will only be bumped if there are dramatic changes, and that is not expected to happen ever.
 
 ### 📌 Is "Platform Support" part of the public API?
