It's not. The idea that were are in a mega-unravelling comes from the fact that younger people today, as young people often do, have thrown over the awakening 2T that boomers came of age in, because they don't like boomers or the awakening that we had. They have lost almost all experience of the awakening and what it was about. Plus, our recent 3T was longer than other turnings in this saeculum. So, not seeing beyond the circumstances of our 3T and its results in the 4T today, they think we are in a mega 3T.
But there is no correlation between the theory of what turnings are like, with any of the preceding alleged mega-turnings at all. They are completely different from what would be expected from a mega-turning of those types. Plus, your observation is correct that there are no other such mega-saecula that fit any such pattern.
There are other cycles operating in our world than the saeculum; that is true. They might not be based on the same cycles as the saeculum, on generations, etc.
Also, the mega-unravelling idea is based on the notion that our country and civilization began with the American Revolution. It didn't. The USA is a product of European exploration, colonization and imperialism. So it goes back to the Renaissance and the Age of Exploration, just as we were taught in school. The Revolution in America was just a change in who was in charge; not a change in our country. That change toward greater democracy was an ongoing process that continues today, and started with such events as the Great Rebellion, the Glorious Revolution, The Reformation, The French Enlightenment, etc., and further empowered by the French Revolution, anti-slavery movements, socialist movements, greenpeace movements, feminism and civil rights, etc.
I think the fact that, as we go back in history, the American Seaculum was seen by the T4T authors are blending and emerging from the British and European saeculum, shows that the authors of T4T understood this connection.
