Regenerative Value Economics: A Grand Unified Theory of Civilizational Architecture

Regenerative Value Economics is a framework for reading the architecture of the living planet and articulating the conditions under which sovereignty operates across living nodes. The paper is organized as two parts within one unified publication. Part One applies the True Net Value Audit: the framework’s diagnostic instrument to document the cost of operational behavior that degrades the physical conditions for sovereignty across sectors, institutions, populations, and historical operations. The audit covers the financial sector, the legal sector, the education sector, the institution of nationalism in cross-national configuration, and the historical-extraction record including slavery, indigenous forced migration, and Operation Paperclip. Part Two articulates the operational architecture aligned with what the architecture of the living planet requires for sovereignty to operate across living nodes: the viable human node, the conditions for sovereignty across non-human life, the cycling mechanism of the dual feedback loop, the transition through cessation and reform, the closed-loop civilization, and the framework fully expressed. The paper rests on the foundational position that sovereignty is what being a living node is: a structural condition that does not depend on the node’s stance toward it, and that the architecture of the living planet has built the conditions for sovereignty into its physical structure across billions of years of relational development. The framework names what the architecture has documented for itself; it does not impose, invent, or require agreement to operate.
