In an era of "over extended crisis", where the climax event somehow "refuses" to happen, the "Youth Artist" box/group simply gets more "dense in it's population and shading", meaning that more young people fill that "box" that would otherwise have been "fed/routed" into the "Youth Prophet" box.
By "dense in it's shading" I mean that there is a MORE DENSE POPULATION of
UNIFIED YOUTH in the "Youth Artist" box than is "normal".
This has the effect of "further pressurizing", with added youthful energy, the NATIONALISM (unity) that fuels the crisis. It also STARVES the (post climax) upcoming "Youth Prophet" box (population), which will mean that there are FEWER "non-unified" people bucking their conformist society post climax.
Super pressurized nationalism BEFORE the crisis climax means the climax will be more explosive.
Under pressurized non-conformism AFTER the crisis climax means that nationalism (conformity) will be more prevalent.
This "conformist nationalistic artistic-group" bulge has an interesting effect:
*) Austerity Era: Conformity and Power are very predominant values. Authoritarianism is "promoted".
*) Awakening Era: Idealism and Narcissism are persecuted/"frowned upon". The normally indecisive and busy/overworked elders are "toughened" by their exposure to increased authoritarianism into being more stubborn and entrenched in their "ways", more heavily suppressing the "Awakening/Idealistic" parts of society.
*) Unraveling Era: Morality is at a low ebb, while alienated younger parents overprotect their spoiled children, and the elders wield a very heavy hand on the "rules of behavior" of society.
*) (Next) Crisis Era: Authoritarianism has died (not "is dying"), and is "replaced"/inherited by immoral weak leaders who are constantly harried/harassed by "newly freed slaves" and their "spoiled but muscular" children. These "pissed off pragmatic reactionaries" replace/"kill off" their weak leaders very early in the "crisis era", forming a very "family oriented morally renewed" state with very young leadership, ready for battle (or "muscular non-battle") as a family against their "natural enemies" of the day.
Basically, the "nationalistic population pressure bulge" in the "Youth Artist" box creates a "partial vacuum" in the "Youth Prophet" box, which creates a "leadership deficit" during the next crisis era, which transforms their society significantly and MAY de-sync their society's GenDynamic timeline by "skipping" the need for an external "Crisis Era" (at the early destruction of their immoral weak leaders), sliding directly into a "weak" Austerity Era.
The "Crisis Era" ends without a typical Crisis Event, but the INTERNAL "killing off" of their despised "weak immoral leaders", who are THEIR FATHERS may actually be traumatic enough to count as a "genocidal crisis event".
..so,.. whatcha think Sensei?
