In this analysis,* the first one (so far as I recall) that seems to make some sort of sense, the disassociation [sic]** of sensibility (thought and feeling)*** emerges simply as one part of the Enlightenment, which with the Reformation and the Renaissance, in the present Christian cycle, represents both the revolution on the outer circle (G~) and the triumph of Faith and Reason on the inner circle. In the quarter cycle of Western civilisation which began c2000 years BC[E], this is the more extreme stage | s~/R~.

This analysis, which may or may not be valid, does not reveal any general pattern of doublings (or halvings) in sequential period lengths.**** Actually, this unpredictability makes a certain amount of sense. If Individuals are at their most free around C to affect the nature of the rest of the cycle, they may by their choices be free to affect its duration as well – and so the same may apply to institutions.
