The megasaeculum is the fourth subharmonic of the saeculum. There is also something called the microturnings? that appears to be a fourth of a turning. Unexplained in these concepts is any explanation for why a saeculum or a turning should show harmonics/subdivisions. There is a certain aesthetic appeal to historical cycle harmonics analogous to the "wheels within wheels" explored in such toys as the Spirograph (remember those?). But why should generational dynamics show such larger (or smaller) patterns? We do not even have a good handle on how the basic saeculum works, why propose larger structures for which little supporting evidence could ever be gained based on their extreme length?
For example. Supposedly we are in a megaunraveling 4T. So if we count back four we should has another 4T of the same type in the Glorious Revolution. Four more back and we have the Second Baron's war 4T. Four more back and we have the Viking Crisis 4T. Consider the GCs of these three previous megaunraveling 4Ts: Alfred the Great; Henry III or Simon Montfort (man not much choice here) and for the Glorious...William III? One of these is a kick-ass GC; the others, not so much. No correlation here. So just what makes a megaunraveling 4T distinctly different from your ordinary run-of-the-mill 4T?
