The View from Oregon – 293: Friday 14 June 2024
[Ship of Theseus as civilisation springs to mind here.]
I like the matrix and its proportions:
Shared past, shared future / Shared past, no shared future / No shared past, shared future /
No shared past, no shared future
\
Directionality / Reactionary milieu / Revolutionary milieu / Dissolution
The mapping to Roman republic/empire is neat, but what if the republic/empire pairing might be an outlier. Is it common enough to use as a base ratio?
