Michael, I appreciate you checking out my work. It is hard to understand this framework and without working experientially in my communities. For example, your questions, in spite oa good intentions are at the arrest disorder and not higher. Arrest Disorder is about slowing down and stopping the decline. Regeneration avoids thoughts of values as a reference and goes to the Essence of a Living System_a person, specific Place/Lifeshed, Whole at work. It is about capability development of these

wholes, not what we leave behind. That is ego and often even extract value (our values.) It hard to switch to developing capability of other living beings, including communities for them to decide for themselves (their Essence expressed, not our legacy imposed). Regeneration Evolves Capacity of others to be Self-detemining, not our ideals projected. That is source of war and colonizing. I prefer question like, how do I grow myself to care for others aspiration and understanding. How I do I educate me first and the others about how economics works at these four levels. Humans do the wrong way oof working when they work on "how do I do this today. Regeneration is about" Improving HOW we think and see wholes is first step or we make more of a mess from our unexamined projections. That was the purpose of the article this framework was in. How I think.
