Earlier* problems of the acceleration of the Circle in the context of the patterns of (and around) Revolutions may be resolved by comparison with the **Hindu’s deteriorating cycle of 4 yugas, or World ages,*** named after the 4 throws (from best to worst) in a dice game:

	Kṛta[]yuga	4,800 yrs	(dawn & dusk 400 yrs each)
	Tretā	3,600 yrs
	Dvāpara	2,400 yrs
(The current one)	Kali	1,200 yrs
	------------	------------
	Mahayuga	12,000 yrs

I do not know the characteristics of the first 3;**** but here the periods are, in a circle:

	|
1,200		4,800
(Kali)		(Krta[]yuga)
–		–
2400		3,600
(Dvapara)		(Treta)
	|

Or, by time (1/12ths):

Kali
		Krta[]yuga
Dvapara	+
	Treta

(12 is the usual co-efficient – from the 12-month year, the unit of creation.)
