The Heraclitus Law
Original language description
The Heraclitus Law describes a mechanism according to which the factors responsible for the rise of a particular civilisation or culture are usually the same as those which, in the end, instigate its crisis, meaning thus a quick and deep loss of its complexity, usually followed by a stage of regeneration and a following rise. Therefore, if we want to understand why a system is exposed to a crisis, it is necessary to analyse the stage during which the civilisation or culture was emerging. It is there, if the factors involved in its rise are identified, that we usually find the key to understanding the actual stage of the crisis.
