it's called pseudomorphosis

Neither Mexico nor America are high cultures. Both America and Mexico are subsets of Faustian culture. No true syncreticism is possible according to Spengler. One high culture will simply develop in pseudomorphosis of the other, like a crystal that grows inside of the void left by another kind of mineral, resembling its shape but being a different substance. Eventually the real high culture will break out of the fake shape and assume its own form.

The way cultures end is reflected in their ur symbol. Mesoamerican culture ended by being devoured by a predatory culture, for example, which is a reflection of their jungle ur symbol. There hasn't been a high culture with an ur symbol of "merging" yet and two high cultures would need to have that to effectively form a new high culture together (many sub-high tribal cultures have indeed had something similar, though). Faustian culture is fated to be exploded by its own technology.
