is there a definitive definition of "revolution" you follow and how do you differentiate it from the standard coup? when does a coup become a revolution?

Theres also Self-Coups (Peru 1992), Legislative Coups (Brazil 2016) and that time the US Supreme Court decided that Bush won the election. I think Revolutions usually start within the civilian population and the military and police joins in as the goverment begins to fall. Coups are more organized.
