A system of philosophical or scientific thought based on rings, cycles, or circular organizational principles.
From Latin 'annulus' (ring) combined with '-ism' (a system of beliefs or practices). This is a rare technical term primarily used in specialized scholarly contexts.
Annulism as a concept reveals how scientists and philosophers have been obsessed with cycles and circles as explanations for everything—from the water cycle to the orbits of planets to the structure of atoms themselves.
