One example of the ambiguities inherent in the C[ircles] A[nalysis] and S[ynthesis] system relates to colonial expansion or migrations of peoples. This seems* most usually to occur around M~ or around G~ – diametrically opposite degrees. It no doubt occurs at the other degrees too: J~-G~-R~, S~-M~-U~; after all, the O[uter] C[ircle] is an outward, as well as outer, circle.

One might expect an M~-centred expansion to have more of the character of a willed invasion, but a G~-centred expansion to be more in response to events.

It would also seem likely that the later an expansion occurred, the less long it would last – given the characteristics of the O[uter] C[ircle].
