Generational cycle research

[Mikebert]

Dave, as far as I know your paper is the only application of the concept.  Fifteen years ago I was trying to use the saeculum as a unifying cycle that underlay the "visible" cycles that had already been characterized in the literature such as various economic cycles and political cycles.  The project was ultimately unsuccessful and I had pretty much abandoned it around 2007.

More recently I have learned about the secular cycle and cliodynamics.  This is an empirical cycle and it has theoretical support there are mathematical models that can be fitted to data (I just published a paper on this).  This is a good paradigm to use for the purpose I was using the saeculum before. 

Based on the investigation I’ve done so far, it may be this secular cycle for the post-industrial situation might correspond to the saeculum –at least in America.  If so one could model aspects of it using a model based on generations create history and history creates generations.  In the manuscript I was working on before I lost it to a corrupted memory stick I cited your paper and some political science papers to support this idea.
