Nor have I, but there is some evidence, thin though it is. For the alternating 4T pattern to fit the generations model, where the absence of direct knowledge supports the slide into fatal events, there has to be an institutional element of some sort that bridges the gap then decays. Since institutions are immortal until they are displaced by action (or inaction?), I would look there. Nothing comes to mind though.
I am not following you here.
