I note that religious, or at least Christian, cycles seem to be more consistently precise than economic cycles.*

I speculate that this is connected to the fact that religion (or at least Christianity) is a characteristic of the C degree, which is closest to the Spirit which moves this wheel; whereas economic activity is a characteristic of the A~ degree, which at least on the Outer Circle (or Ellipse)** is most separated from the Spirit.

I should then expect military history, on the one hand, and secular cultural history, on the other, to show varying degrees of consistency in precision, between these two classes of cycle (ie religious, or Christian; and economic).***

***In practical terms, economic activity is the least spontaneous of these four classes (of which G~ & M~ are closely interlinked, even indistinguishable, eg in politics): that is, economic activity is dependent on other human activity and on natural events, as well as eg regular natural cycles, whereas by comparison genuine revivalism is spontaneous, or at least arguably so. <900914>
