d.i. in my view would not be defined by # of people dead and dying, for dying is easy, and once dead, all problems end d.i. would be stipulated by # of dramatically changed plans and circumstances; dying helps but, yes, bloodcurdling probably involves dying, but only as a footnote or as an 'i.e.' for the then living, the french revolution probably was not all or even mostly about dying and for the similarly living, the collapse of the roman empire was not even noticed except for occasional tea time conversation, and the process was not even note worthy until well afterwards d.i., just for example, can be triggered by ... oh ... like all bank accounts zero-ed, and the subsequent reset, but such an event would involve no mass-death at all, and the subsequently accelerated process becomes just normal life until the historians look back and define pre-d.i. and post d.i. giving us a measure of duration of d.i. the cultural revolution of china, ~1966 to perhaps 1976+ was just normal life as far as folks then knew it. no one expected it to end, but it was definitely a mini-/localized-d.i.-lite the number of untimely death was not particularly high, however an entire generation + perhaps halves of two generations were dramatically impacted even though they simply lived through it and mostly went about their daily chores of the basics that had nothing to do w/ what defined the mini-/localized-d.i.-lite. wwi and wwii were localised mini-/localized-d.i.lite - yes, lots of people died, but that was not what made the d.i.. localised degeneration of rules made it a d.i. and the number of the localised areas made it somewhat confusing the meteor striking the earth that supposedly disappeared several generations of dinosaurs qualified as global-d.i.-heavy. while the rapidity of effect was dramatic, the dinosaurs had it easy. they just died. the d.i. was not particularly harsh for what critters arose, because they did not know any better.
