BUMPONOMICS is governed by the core vector of problem transformation: Problems (P) → Transformations (T) → Outcomes (O).

1.1 The Dominant Economic System: The emergent operating system, its historical strengths, and its emerging weaknesses.
1.2 Actors, Perspectives, and Desired Outcomes (OOSIWID): Mapping the players and their distinct POVs across Personal (Micro), Organizational (Meso), and Societal & Planetary (Macro) layers.
1.3 The Economic System in Context: The System Context Diagram placing the economic engine at the center, surrounded by the living actors and host environment.

2.1 Ecological Carrying-Capacity Breach: Consuming ecological capital faster than the biosphere can regenerate.
2.2 Human Bandwidth & Demographic Collapse: Frontline burnout, economic precarity, and falling birth rates.
2.3 Financialization & Debt Decoupling: Decoupling of assets from physical productivity and the debt treadmill.
2.4 Cognitive Automation & Machine Disruption: AI and robotics breaking the historic labor-capital bargain.
2.5 Geopolitical Rivalry & Global Commons Paralysis: Zero-sum national competition blocking planetary action.
2.6 Evolutionary Pressures (Why Dominant Systems Get Out-Performed): Diminishing returns, environmental limits, the overshoot dynamic, and the evolutionary succession of a more fit rival.

3.1 The Nature of Problems: Problems as structural voids, societal magnetism, the Three Fs (Focus, Fuel, Future), and the 3D qualification gate (Proof-of-Problem).
3.2 WHO'S R-ARSED: The WHO'S power archetypes (Weaponizing, Hindering, Orchestrating, Struggling) and the six strategic responses (Revolve, Absolve, Resolve, Solve, Evolve, and Dissolve).
3.3 Mapping Economic History: Auditing mercantilism, classical laissez-faire, Keynesianism, neoclassical economics, and Austrian/evolutionary models through the six response types.
3.4 The Dual Dynamic (Dissolve to Solve): Why civilization remains deadlocked cycling between patching and optimizing, and how BUMPONOMICS dissolves the obsolete system so humanity can solve what matters.

4.1 Planet (Places & Spaces): The physical and ecological ground truth, the three tiers of space (Personal, Private, Public), and the axiom that the environment is the economy.
4.2 Participants (People & Organizations): Human agency, States-of-Being (S-Curves and Gaussian distributions), Perspectives (POVs) & Multi-Perspective Triangulation, and organizations as temporary vehicles.
4.3 Organising for Action: Problem-transforming Swarms (Forming, Deforming & Boids dynamic), the Five Ways of Organising (WoO), and the Four Scales of Organising (SoO).
4.4 Progress (The Engine of Transformation): Progress as a vector ( $\pm$ ), the BUMPS formula, the PTO engine & Triple Diamond, BUMPSCOPE, and Co-Intelligence (HI + AI).

5.1 The Balance Sheet of Dissolution: A ruthless evaluation of the Pros & Cons of the BUMPONOMICS pathway.
5.2 Avoiding Progress Traps: Deploying recursive feedback loops to anticipate second- and third-order fallout.
5.3 The New Scoreboard (GIVE over GDP): Measuring Gross Increased Variety of Environment and the five biological feedback metrics ( $V o E, G M P, G P P T O, G I V E, S O B$ ).
5.4 Future Horizons: The emergence of the Bumpivore ( $5.4 .1$ ) and our expanding civilizational horizon ( $5.4 .2$ ).

The Standing Open Challenge: The Popperian falsifiability challenge testing the universality and boundary conditions of the BUMPS formula ( $P r o g r e s s = f (P l a c e s, P a r t i c i p a n t s, P r o b l e m s)$ ).
