Sure -- I'm not trying to be gratuitously formalistic. Run with it. Make it your own.
However, I *will* reiterate that 'dynamics' can be found, that are inherently 'dominant-and-subordinate', or 'higher and lower', in terms of *scale*, like the regional-culture-over-nationalist-aspirations example.
I would readily make an argument for *any* level-pairings -- of how a 'lower' one relates dynamically to a 'higher' one, and vice-versa.
So in *this* instance the 'region' could be said to be *inter-continental*.
To *extend* the 'complexity' of the analysis, I might go one 'level' higher, and say that the 'AUKUS', or 'Five Eyes' international organization is limited by its similarity of economies / economics, currently overfinancialized, and *limiting* (like a ceiling) the 'regional culture' 'below' it (due to lack of continuous economic development / GDP growth).
*But* -- 'regional culture' *is* supported, as a matter of course / as a matter of *existence*, from below, by the nation-state, etc., all the way down to newborns and animals, in one way or another.
Sure, certainly. I won't argue.
In *this* instance I'd say maybe a certain *date*, at the 'event' level -- like *this*:
...Could be indicated by a large colored sphere on the 'event' shelf of the framework for that day, with a vertical cylindrical column *connector* up to the 'economic trends' level -- so that would be a way to depict it schematically with the original framework.

Yeah, but see you can only speak of it in general, theoretical terms. A culture isn't a tangible aspect of society, and is comprised of more tangible elements such as technology and social movements.

This is the issue with specifying 'regional' culture as well. In the modern era Australia is far more culturally proximal to Canada than to its nearest neighbours. The Catholic Church has influence in regions around the world. Factors such as the internet and the 'informationisation' of economies have further linked such trans-continental cultural spheres together, and yet none of this is covered by a regionalist conception of culture.

Yes, but this is what I mean. What are 'events'? Are economic trends not events? It seems to me that the term denotes temporality, but within that realm it could be used to describe anything.

On 20 February 2020, stock markets across the world suddenly crashed
The IMF blamed 'heightened trade and geopolitical tensions' as the main reason for the slowdown, citing Brexit and the China – United States trade war as primary reasons for slowdown in 2019, while other economists blamed liquidity issues.[15][16]
