REENETUN BARTROS: FOUNDER OF MODERN ARUN

Reenetun Bartros stands as one of the most revered figures in Arunian history, whose life bridged the greatest catastrophe in planetary history and the rebuilding of civilization. As a child, he witnessed firsthand the devastation that claimed eight billion lives, an experience that would shape his life's work. His father was one of the Bartros siblings who flew over the devastated planet, making him a living link to both the old world and the new.

Growing up in the aftermath of catastrophe, Reenetun developed revolutionary theories about societal stability and sustainable civilization. His seminal work, preserved as a sacred text in a gas-tight casket and guarded by soldiers, outlined the principles that would become the foundation of modern Arunian society. His key insight was that unlimited growth inevitably leads to collapse, and that controlled stagnation through carefully designed social systems could prevent future catastrophes.

Reenetun established the framework for the cred system, a points-based social structure that prevents the accumulation of excessive wealth and power while maintaining population control. He was the founder of the Future Centre, where he implemented many of his theories about societal management and stability.

His legacy is honored throughout Arun, most notably through the Reenetun Bartros Park in Kanjon metropolis, featuring a massive granite memorial dome. His statue dominates the Future Research Centre's foyer, and his principles continue to guide Arunian governance, from the humble titles of leaders (like "Servant" for the world leader) to the careful control of economic growth.

Reenetun is remembered not just as a theorist, but as the architect of a society designed to prevent the recurrence of catastrophic collapse. His ideas about controlled stagnation, social cred systems, and sustainable civilization continue to shape every aspect of Arunian life, making him perhaps the most influential figure in the planet's modern history.
