Primes

• Historical Determinism
  • Oswald Spengler (Der Untergang des Abendlandes, 1918) imposed organic-cycle determinism on civilizational development.

    This sourceImposes an organic life-cycle (spring/summer/autumn/winter) on civilizational morphology, presenting cultural decline as biologically necessary rather than contingent.

• Periodization
  • extended periodization to civilizational scales: they partitioned human history into cycles of rise, maturity, and decline defined by spiritual or cultural coherence rather than political events.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
