A cycle usually made up of two rivers with an impressive palaeogenesis of one river, the dominant one. The cycle, the development of the dominant, can be rotational (with counterpoints and counter directions), alternative (with alternation of dominant and subdominant) and alternate-rotational (with two alternations and two subdominants).

Abstract
Complex hydrological models find adequate formalization in co-nodal systems, given the abundance, multiplication, dynamics, relations of elements (hubs and nodes) and systems (basins and rivers), as well as chronologies. Hydrological models function on the principle of nodes and orientations. Hypo-cycloids (in the text: h-Cycloids) are time-spatial categories; the subject of hydrodynamic nonlinear analysis, they do not exist entirely realistically as recent flows, but are present only partially, phased, as partial flows. Hypo-cycloids are formed by summing cycles with a combination of overlapping and alternating flows. Cycles are time-spatial categories of co-nodal reconstruction. Fluvial dynamics is logically composed of nodal sets, hub systems, and junctions that are polyvalues (polyvalent, multi-oriented, cyclic) of a diverse model rather than a single-oriented output of just a simple physical model. The chapter examines four of the world's largest interfluviums: Parana-Paraguay, Euphrates-Tigris, Mississippi-Ohio, Danube-Tisza.
