This is an exceptional synthesis. What usually gets lost in the Munger-isms is exactly what you’ve highlighted here: the interconnectivity of these models. Most people treat them like a checklist; Charlie treated them like a biological system.
I particularly loved that The Human Brand Moat was included. Fortunately, I came across it when very young and used it as a guiding principle throughout my life and career.
This is a resource I’ll be coming back to; thank you for this excellent article!

Thank you, this really means a lot!
Regarding the Human Brand Moat, there's no doubt it has been compounding for you over decades.
I can only agree, Munger's genius wasn't in knowing the models individually, but in seeing how they compound and interact with each other.
“Luckily” for him, he grasped that very early in his life.
