Lineage, Provenance, and References

The Regenerative Prosperity Grove integrates three supplied working papers and elevates the RPM Flywheel as a distinct operating body inside the larger architecture. The source papers remain authoritative for their individual arguments and publication histories; the Grove reorganizes their shared intellectual territory so that overlapping concepts are stated once, differences in responsibility remain visible, and the reader can move through one coherent body of knowledge rather than three adjacent manuscripts.

  • RPM · 2020 → 2.0
  • RDS · 2021 → 2.0
  • RST · v2.0 July 2026

The integration preserves the canonical title Regenerative Systems Thinking for the Agentic Enterprise for the third supplied body. The request referred to that body as RPT, but the attached source identifies it as Regenerative Systems Thinking and uses the acronym RST throughout; the Grove therefore does not invent a new expansion or silently rename the source.

Source Lineage

Regenerative Prosperity Model 2.0Defines regenerative prosperity, five domains, and Trust / Proof / StewardshipWorking Paper, July 2026; model lineage begins April 2020
RPM FlywheelMakes the operating model dynamic through Self → Community → Design → Nature → Capital → Stewardship → SelfElevated from the RPM 2.0 and RDS treatments into its own Grove territory
Regenerative Systems ThinkingProvides 21 leverage points, nested cycles, invariants, failure patterns, controls, design method, and maturity assessmentVersion 2.0, revised July 2026
RPM Decisioning SystemProvides five gates, Trust and Proof as cross-cutting disciplines, four verdicts, and gate scoringWorking Paper, August 2026; first decisioning framework established July 2021

Research and Intelligence Provenance

The supplied papers disclose AI-assisted research and drafting support while retaining human authorship and responsibility. RPM and RDS identify Astra, the Adaptive Strategic Thesis Reasoning Agent at 451 Labs, and Clearstory, a knowledge and intelligence provenance system, as research-support mechanisms under active validation rather than shipped products. They also disclose use of Anthropic's Claude for drafting, editorial, and reference-verification assistance, with framing, analytical judgments, and responsibility remaining with the author.

The RST paper similarly discloses the use of Clearstory with large language models from OpenAI, Google Gemini, and Anthropic for background research, source identification, structural organization, and drafting. The author directed the work, reviewed sources and claims, and retained responsibility for the final arguments and errors. The Grove preserves that provenance because Proof applies to the production of the framework as well as to the systems the framework evaluates.
