The message
from (Nick Maclaren) contains these words:

'Fluctuations' instead of 'cycles'?


Hang on. The reference was from the Guardian. Do you honestly
think that they could have spelled 'fluctuations' the same way
twice, let alone correctly?


I stans collected.

But, yes, it is an accurate term. It is very generic, unfortunately,
and doesn't identify the particular class of variation that is
being referred to here.


Perhaps we should coin a new word?

I'll kick off with 'fluctuatours' and 'circumfluctuations'.
