In purposive change of a circle civilisation, the pursued civilisation elements must be internalised by sufficient numbers of individuals and become socially operative within the relevant social circles.
- Explanation. Persuading individual persons is insufficient to change a circle civilisation. New civilisation elements must spread, be internalised by sufficient numbers of individuals, and be shared sufficiently within the circles concerned to become socially operative. Insofar as the pursued change also requires institutional change, the relevant elements must also be institutionalised.
