I have a touch of historical cycles fever aka Russian Fever. It will pass. Generally lasts a couple of weeks. This is a serious bout though, since I’m exhibiting Fourier symptoms. Not the Kondtatiev or Turchin or Sorokin strains though. New mutant.

The ~80-90 year cycle (1/4 of the grand half-cycle) is approximately the same as a full Strauss-Howe cycle AND maps to a technological cycle (Perez installation/deployment). I'm convinced that's not a coincidence.

hmm which cycles are correlated with human generations, or like infrastructure lifecycles, or like intercontinental transit/freight times??? lol

Prophet (high) = pioneer = early installation
Nomad (awakening) = settler = late installation
Hero (unraveling) = townplanner = early deployment
Artist (crisis) = late deployment
Eg: computer revolution from Boomers to Z.

East India Corporation... its peak/eclipse and takeover by the British crown is an important milestone.
Median cycle = cultural flips that seem to happen every 80-100 years or so, eg from "modernism" to "post-modernism" around 1920-30
