The problem with the term "revolution", is that it has acquired a bad reputation.
Originally it was used to refer to the revolutions of the celestial bodies, later it was
used for the overthrow of a dynasty, or a King. Now, in the political sphere, it is
connected to the overthrow of a government. Since a government acquires a
certain stability, the term implies some force or violence. We welcome
revolutions in science, in art, in technology, even in language, but these are
abstract revolutions, they blend in with the other formulations and later acquire
their own formulation. Since, the Top of triadic government is abstract, a
revolution will never occur from the Top because it would have to be voluntary.
It must come from the Bottom. Hence, a revolution is a 'forced' re-structuring
of the Top by the Bottom. To be sure,its an abstract re-structuring, but it is
'forced' by Number.
Hence, the term should relate to the term "revive", to bring back to life or
consciousness the real condition that exists in triadic government, namely, the
Bottom is real and the Top has power only by virtue of a Constitutional grant.
The purpose of the Top should be to keep alive the nature of the bottom, or
stated differently, to keep democracy alive. The Top cannot exist without the
bottom. The Top should never exclude any individual from a democratic
formulation.
Unfortunately, we have to live with the term, "revolution", so, don't be
destructive, the strength of the Bottom is in their Number.
