I also thought these looked similar, so I dedicated a half-hour or so of searching and I could not turn up any relation between either of the authors of the Research Gate summary and Boyd or the military as far as their Wikipedia pages and partial publication lists go. It appears those two have been writing books together on this set of principles since 2001, based on work going back to the 60′s and drawing from the systems management literature.
I also checked for some links between Rickover and Boyd, which I thought might be valid because one of Boyd’s other areas of achievement was as a ruthless trainer of fighter pilots, which seemed connected through the Navy’s nuclear training program. Alas, a couple of shots found them only together in the same document for one generic media article talking about famous ideas from the military.
It sort of looks like Rickover landed on a similar set of principles to Boyd’s, but with a goal more like trying to enforce a maximum loop size organization-wide for responding to circumstances.
