As we can see, the creative center displaces itself in the same sense as the general process. The creative process is not manifested for each cycle and for every region with the same intensity. Although the political and social evolution may be the same and uses the same time in both cycles, the creative power, however, is variable.
The creative process always follows the same evolution: birth, growth and completeness, decadence and death, that is, an identical transformation. In its first cycle a creative process having little intensity will appear, in the second cycle it will be more intense and, in the third, it will be less intense, like a rebirth.
According to the mathematics of history, it can be deduced that three cycles are perfectly distinguished in cultures-civilizations, no matter what the region in the planet may be. Since each cycle lasts 1,700 years, the total duration of each culture-civilization is 5,100 years.
In the first cycle, art and culture in general, although they may have their own seal, manifest an influence of a prior creative process, as in the case of Mycene vis-à-vis Cretan art, or Iberian vis-à-vis Greek.
In the second cycle, the creative personality is manifested with all its splendor and originality. It is like a new style.
In the third there is no creation, it is a rebirth of the art and culture of the prior two cycles. It is then the second cycle that defines the characteristic of a culture.
