When I thought about the cycle of society and how it rises from family to community to cities and then falls, I tried thinking of ways to represent it. Although not necessarily a conventional diagram, I thought of rainfall and virga (rain that evaporates before it hits the ground). So the initial vapor is the formation of families to communities and so on. But once it reaches the high point, which in this diagram is the cloud, it falls again. But they fall to different location before they begin to rise again. A couple issues I see with this is that there is now where to go once the water reaches the clouds- it is doomed to fall. This might be representative that we cannot reach further than where we have gotten. It is also entirely possible that it is completely incorrect.
