History as Loop Spiral(tm)

 

important theories of history that broke too late to make the piece.

 

 

The loop spiral is an attempt, for one thing, to get rid of the still-whiggish simple loop structure, which presses forward even as it turns back. The loop spiral 'blooms' rather than progresses. 

At every moment history becomes more complex, because it accumulates or accretes and never loses events and entities; that is, whatever has happened will never not have happened; history is cumulative. Even if the universe were to collapse into a single point, its history would still be expanding.

"Of course, our grotesquerie of a president decided that it was horrible that these disasters keep piling up, stoked by a combination of overheated rhetoric, totally unhinged and evil behavior, and perhaps the full moon were detracting from his many accomplishments like…crashing the stock market? Threatening the Federal Reserve, supposedly telling the Chairman not to raise rates or he would get even; then, ok-ing the largest bond action to get over the known monster deficit his beloved tax disaster — err, law — shot in the Federal coffers."
