This* leads to thoughts on a summary of stages of development of political systems:

Tribal

(ACTION)

Monarchical

3) European:

(Model)**

Democratic

	→	ATTRACTION
	(Simplification)		(Ordination)
REVOLUTION		☼		ACTION
	(Fragmentation)		(Complication)
		DISTRACTION	←

(4) ?Utopian:

	→	→	ATTRACTION	→	↓
→	SIMPLIFIC-ATION	↓	UNITY	←	ORDINATION	→
↑	↓	LOVE		HARMONY	←	↓
REVOLUTION	REVELATION		☼		INNER ACTION	OUTER [ACTION]
↑	→	CREATION		EVOLUTION	↑	↓
←	FRAGMENT-ATION	→	DIVERSITY	↑	COMPLIC-ATION	←
	↑	←	DISTRACTION	←	←

[In the ms the last two diagrams here are represented as roughly drawn circles with square and diagonal crosses; the arrows follow the circles. Due to the apparent limitations of Google Blogger' fonts, these cannot be fully represented there in tables.]

Note that this model does not have the turn around points at either side of top (cf. the (lucky) horseshoe pattern, e.g. Stonehenge – although the Harmony–Ordination return is speculative and a reminder that anyone can fall – even Lucifer?). This is because I assume that a 'self-aware' political system – by contrast with a system of personal development – will lay more emphasis on the continuing need to balance Inner and Outer requirements (by revolving the Circles in symmetrical opposition) in the interests of the Community of Individuals.

The symmetrically opposing revolutions occur in Individuals also but the emphasis seems to need to be on one or the other.

*[See last previous entry.]

**[Presumably meaning that it is considered to be a model for European political systems, not necessarily the reality.]
