Adaptive Reorganization Theory (ART) asks a simple question: Why do successful people, organizations, sciences, and civilizations eventually lose the ability to adapt? This site explores a proposed answer and practical methods for preserving adaptive reorganizability.
Three Questions
- What is ART?

- Where should I begin?
The Trilogy
