The self-reinforcing process through which a circle civilisation contributes, by means of civilising, to the internalisation of its elements by individuals, whose thinking, judgement and conduct subsequently contribute to the reproduction of that circle civilisation and its institutions.
- Explanation. This loop explains how a circle civilisation can persist while individual members disappear or are replaced. New members and generations encounter an already formed environment, are civilised within it, and subsequently contribute to its continued existence. Reproduction does not mean that a civilisation is copied without change. During transmission, elements may be modified, interpreted differently, strengthened, weakened or replaced.
