HI,
Do you know that any historians support this theory?  I kind of like
it, in line with the statement (whose?) that knowledge is doubling
every five or ten years, also a logrithm-based concept.
But should a researcher look for people that have actually propounded
this, or are you searching for negative confirmation:  that it is your
unique idea?
But, I see now, that is only a different way of expressing the concept
that I mentioned, which is future oriented, whereas yours is
projecting the same concept back into the past, not unfairly.
Maybe you would like to comment (stands out when one scrolls past the questions).
Perhaps you would be satisfied with an answer that expaned on the
doubling every so many years concept, which really has be mentioned,
but I'm not a GA-researcher and cannot "answer" your question.
