A Running Diagnostic Log of America’s Crisis Phase
This page is part of the NeuroSaeculum project — a framework for understanding societal cycles through a blend of generational theory, neurobiology, and institutional analysis. Here, we track escalating stress points during the current Crisis Phase of the American saeculum.
Each checklist below provides a snapshot of the civic, narrative, and institutional health of the republic at a given moment in time.
🔍 What This Is
The Crisis-Phase Breaking Point Checklists are weekly (or event-driven) diagnostics that assess critical civic stress indicators using a color-coded system:
- 🔴 Critical – Major threat or collapse in a democratic guardrail
- 🟠 Severe – Dangerous weakening, not yet breached
- 🟡 Emerging – Concerning early signs
- 🟢 Stable – No urgent concern
These are not predictions — they are field diagnostics. A red indicator does not mean collapse is inevitable, only that urgent stress exists at that checkpoint.
See Hidden Circuitry of the Four Turnings for the theory behind these checklists.
