The analysis as given,* however, is not directly explicable by C[ircles] A[nalysis &] S[ynthesis], which tends to describe historical developments such as (in religion) Catholicism, Evangelicism and Liberalism as process rather than status.** All religious movements – in the extreme view, all movements – start from C (and presumably, all can be seen to end at C);*** their differentiation may be describable in terms of rotational direction, radial distance, and speed – both within each cycle and between related cycles.

*[ie in the newspaper article referred to in the last previous entry]

**[But attempts to describe the relationship between religions in C.A.S terms have been made previously in these Journals.]

***[Internally, presumably; speculative analysis elsewhere in these Journals appears to suggest that they make take internal and differentiating characteristics at least partly from their starting point on wider, broadly secular circles.]
