19870820.18--

[continued]

I hazard a guess (supported by earlier observations,* and by my own Journal record) that the main cycles** are:

(a)*** c.70 years or one lifetime (obviously can be far longer, or shorter).

(b)*** c.35 years or Half-life – to Mid-life crisis (I think I've just had mine)****.

(c) c.16-18 years, e.g. to first 'adulthood' (I have remarked earlier – Vol III?# – on the sudden change to civilisation of boys (and girls?) at c.16).

(d) c.8 years – 'Eights', or eighths, as there are eight of them in the average Life Cycle. This is the one I detect most strongly in my adult life so far, i.e. from c.16/17#* (I was a late developer), to 1976, and 1976 to 1986.

(e) (Sixteenths--) Commonly 4 years, but stretching from 3 to 5. (Years ago I noticed how my life tended to operate in 3 year cycles, and then found a fourth year commonly in between; the 'Crisis' period#** is often on a different scale of time from the other periods of the Cycle, even if they are 'in time' with each other – hence 'Stretching' or flexibility of Gearing (above)**.)

(f) There may well be a 2-year cycle; the Year is a Cycle in itself; smaller units may also arise.#*** Cycles need not turn in Years: we are simply using Years here to catch them in.

#**In the classic case, a project might take three years – but there might or might not be a 'fallow' year at the beginning and a 'fallow' year at the end, each of which could be counted as a Crisis for the previous and following project; so the cycle might be 3, 4 or 5 years.
