Regenerative Learning Cycle

Definition

A learning cycle satisfying three conditions: (1) decoupled from fragility cycles (δU/δF = 0), (2) aligned to reality cycles (U(t) = R(t)), and (3) produces cumulative improvement (dA/dt > 0, where A = adaptive capacity). Regenerative learning increases institutional intelligence over time, enabling cumulative improvement rather than episodic reform or crisis-driven adaptation.

Formula

Example

An institution with regenerative learning cycles exhibits decreasing error amplitude over time, shorter response times, and compounding institutional memory rather than repeated crisis-driven resets.
