When we look at historical examples, in the world today or in the<br>systems of the past, we are of course aware that these categories are not<br>watertight with an abrupt transition from one to another, but rather a<br>continuum, like wavelengths of light in a rainbow which we find it<br>convenient to divide into different colours. No actual system remains<br>fixed at one point in this spectrum.
