Ok - but the question is so open-ended like: let's talk about the sky...

you asked about doubling every 12 hours:

0 2
12 4
24 8
36 16

or quadruple every 24 hours:

0 2
24 8
36 16

in essence the same amounts.

Then what? Add temperature as factor:

two instances:

21 C and 32 C

12 routine at 21, you may get along somehow
12 routine at 32, you may overferment

24 routine you may overferment in both cases.

Totally unconsidered is original condition of your starter.
If it's halfway decent, you overferment with doubling in 12 hours in any
case of those two temperatures.

Totally unconsidered is type of flour - high-ash or low-ash

What is your actual application?
Who would double in 12 hours?

With your:

pontifications: To express opinions or judgments in a dogmatic way.

If you want to preach then preach and don't fish!
