[continued]

There is a quite different,* much more logical and rigid, but still perceptible cycle which instead of being hung flexibly and fluidly from the Life Cycle ‘downwards’, is constructed solidly from the annual cycle upwards, and is based on the conventional (male) working life plus as many extra cycles and/or part cycles on the end as actually occur:

(Old names)	Cycles
Annual Cycle	1 year
Biennial Cycle	2 years
Sixteenth Cycle	4 years
Eighth Cycle	8 years
Quarter Cycle	16 years
Half Cycle	32 years	To so-called ‘mid-life’ crisis.
Life Cycle	64 years	48 years mini-crisis To retirement
(Double/Super Cycle)	128 years	– Potential life span (rarely exceeded!)

According to E[ncyclopaedia] B[ritannica], the maximum human life span is reported to be between 115 and 150 years.** ‘There is no verified instance of a person having lived 150 years.’*** The oldest age at death generally accepted as authentic is 113 years.

In the circumstances, it might be better to describe the cycles by their numbers of years, eg 16-cycle.
