   5# Civilizational Complexity from Z-Rung — Tier F Archaeology
   6
   7Turchin's cultural complexity scale (0-50 points across 9 domains)
   8places societies in tiers. In RS terms, civilizational complexity C
   9is the Z-rung of the societal recognition substrate.
  10
  11Five canonical complexity tiers (following Bondarenko 2006):
  121. Band (Z-rung 0-2): hunter-gatherer, < 100 members
  132. Tribe (Z-rung 3-5): early agriculture, 100-2000
  143. Chiefdom (Z-rung 6-8): monumental architecture, 2000-20,000
  154. State (Z-rung 9-11): writing, law, cities, 20,000-1M
  165. Empire (Z-rung 12+): multi-ethnic, > 1M
  17
  185 tiers = configDim D = 5.
  19
  20RS prediction: adjacent tier thresholds ratio by phi^2 ≈ 2.618.
  211M / 20k = 50 ≈ phi^8 (two double-rung steps); 20k / 2k = 10 ≈ phi^5.
