Fig. 6.4 schematically demonstrates three possible outcomes of degree of adherence to USPs over multigenerational time. The vertical axis indicates adherence to the USPs, and the horizontal axis, time. The case at the very top, in black, indicates strong adherence to USPs over time; by the end of an interstellar voyage, the USPs are intact. The second, case, in orange, indicates a rapid departure from USPs, so that at the end of the voyage, the original USPs have been lost. The third and most realistic case (in green) depicts a situation in which the essential USPs are maintained even though there is expectable drift from them over time, accommodated by equilibrating functions of the interstellar culture. Here we see moderate drift and then re-adherence to USPs, but we may envision steeper drops, suggesting factionalism, and steep climbs, e.g. fundamentalist revitalization movements, such as the return to early Christianityâs USPs by Jesuits in the 16th C AD. The green line in Fig. 6.4 would be the manifestation of the sufficient maintenance of a set of USPs over multiple generations, despite expected culture change. A useful term for such maintenance of a pattern over a long period is French historian F. Braudelâs longue duree, referring to change occurring imperceptibly to the members of a culture over time; it is sometimes specifically used to indicate patterning that persists about a center, despite slow movement of that center from its original position, over time (Braudel, 1995).
