Évolution log-périodique des ordres religieux et monastiques

[摘要] After the VIth century various religious and monastic orders, all of which influenced the social, economical and political life of their time, succeeded each other. These orders all attempted to promote a stricter respect of the fundamental (religious) rules. But failing to achieve this goal, each order was 7 supplanted by a new one. The succession of jumps in this evolutionary tree shows an acceleration between Benedictine up to Mendicant orders (XIIIth century) similar to what has been observed for various phenomena (evolution of hominidae, financial market crash, earthquake….). This suggests that it might be relevant to apply a log periodic system to this chronology. The deduced values of the critical times and of the self similarity factor are Tc = 1290+/-40 and g = 2,14+/-0,30. No deceleration steps are observed after Tc. This could be explained by the predominance of the secular clergy.
