Warren is right. In the old agrarian saeculum the generation who came of age in one turning came to power in the next. For example Nomads would be born in the 2T, coming of age in a 3T, running the society in a 4T and dead in a 1T. In the modern saeculum a generation comes of age in one turning and comes to power two turnings later. So Prophets are born in a 1T, come of age in a 2T and come to power in a 4T (where they are called GCs) and are retired in the 1T. In the modern saeculum, elite lifespan occupied an entire saeculum. In the old saeculum it was 3/4's of a saeculum. This is why generation length got shorter in the early 19th century, but has been recently rising with rising elite lifespans.
