It is perhaps more convenient* when mapping particular crises to marry the 2^nd ½ of the 1^st circle and the first ½ of the 2^nd, ie breaking the map at A~ instead of at C[:]

The original C impulse is then seen to be at age 16: this was not only when I matured, but also when I specialised in my studies and (if I remember rightly) when I began to steer myself towards Law.** But the consequences of the Crisis decision*** are felt more agonisingly the further apart the outward and the inner circles draw: so that it is no accident that my worst period was at Cambridge at age c20, at the widest separation of the 16-year circle (ie 4 years later).****

**{(From a sense of obligation & TINA)([–]There Is No Alternative)}

***(ref the proper meaning of Crisis: ‘a turning-point that necessitates a parting of the ways’ (Smith & Melluish, TY Greek, p34)[)]
