Rather it is the product of the ideas of many. It is however, different. The research was performed to test a general proposition for predicting a single aspect of culture change: the 'How.' Why cultures change is another question, as is the question, Why don't cultures change? (certainly an equally reasonable question). In addition, 'Why is culture change discontinuous?,' may be considered unanswered by this proposition. If the proposition could be reduced to logical mathematics, it would be seen to lack the factor of time, and the fact of action. It is limited to only the process. The proposition, as it appears in this volume, has been looked at, argued about, worked on and published in various forms for the past seven years. From 1969 to 1971 Cynthia Irwin-Williams gave the idea room for growth. In 1972 Vorsila Rohrer pushed the idea to publication as a model. In 1973 a group of graduate students and dropouts, with the aid of the reigning mentors of the period (Lew Binford and Jim Judge) refined the model, researched the body of data, and produced the first working hypothesis. During 1974, the hypothesis went in search of a method for testing. Now, in 1976, the working hypothesis has been refined and the testable proposition has generated its own questions.
