The Longue/Medium/Short Durée Framework
The Disinfolklore Analytical Method operates by moving agilely between scales:\n>\n> Longue durée (6,000 years): The M-N, Rg/Rt, and D-N cryptotypic sound systems. The Trito Myth. The IE three-function governance model (sovereignty, security, fertility). The self-sacrificing first monarch. These deep structures are IMMANENT in quotidian data — every sentence we speak, every meme we encounter.\n>\n> Medium durée (decades/centuries): Herder’s 1777 folklore revolution → nation-state creation. Russian reflexive control doctrine. Cambridge Analytica’s OCEAN targeting. The Titushka model evolving through Ukraine → Moldova → Palestine.\n>\n> Short durée (days/weeks): Reading today’s tweet, today’s missile strike, today’s protest for what is IMMANENT within it. “The microscopic characteristics of the virus will determine the macroscopic state in which our world is governed for decades.”\n>\n> Dependent arising: Nothing is self-existent. Christianity depends on IE languages. Russia’s identity depends on myths about Ukraine. MAGA depends on Cambridge Analytica’s seed. Understanding the causes = predicting the effects.\n>\n> This is what 6,000 years of mythological, linguistic and cultural history being immanent in analysis of everyday memes looks like.

THE methodological statement of the entire Disinfolklore project. The Braudel longue/medium/short durée framework applied to information warfare. The “dependent arising” concept from Buddhism applied to geopolitical analysis. The agile switching between tools and scales — from Tool 1 (what archetype?) through the three Dumézil functions to the Code of Positive Trolls — in seconds, on the fly.
