So far as the pattern of Circles is concerned, it seems clear that the actual details of the invasion were not carefully considered by Argentina in advance – hence the appalling problems with logistics etc. – whereas the British were able to fall back on carefully prepared detailed plans for mobilisation for this type of emergency, perhaps outweighing the earlier lack of strategic thought on this kind of territory. This (perhaps rather selective) presentation places Argentina as starting with Ordination to Action, i.e. on the Outer Circle, and Britain through Revelation on the Inner Circle, initiated (I believe the Sufi was right, since it is clear that the Islands would have been disposed of were it not for the Islanders) by Love.

The result of this, speaking only of the campaign, would be to lead Britain through Creation (in putting together the fleet etc.), Diversity (apparent in the diversity of resources used), and Death* (more literally than is usual, although from the British point of view worthwhile) ** to successful Action, producing Harmony and eventual Unity (but see below)***. Argentina, however, would discover Complication (e.g. see the conscripts' accounts of lack of food etc. and the reactions of the Islanders, neither of which had been planned for), Distraction, Fragmentation (conscripts losing faith in NCOs and Officers, etc.), and so through Revolution (i.e. in this case defeat) and Simplification return to Unity of a different sort, or Judgement.****
