It would be useful to be able to distinguish the nature of ‘mainstream’ cycles – eg 1-2048CE Western Europe, c[irca]2048-1BCE Crete & Greece – from ‘bridging’ cycles – eg c[ica]512BCE-c[irca]512CE Western Roman Empire (and perhaps c[irca]1536CE-c[irca]2560CE North America?) – if only to avoid the collapse into chaos consequent on too great a complexity of analysis (ie too many and too subtle cycles).

One distinction appears to be that whereas the ‘main’ cycle sequence gives rise to originality of thought and development, ‘bridging’ cycles seem to manifest only relatively derivative cultural expressions. This is generally true of both the Roman and the North American* cultures.
