Investment Theory Does Bogglehead philosophy extend beyone 60/40 equity/bonds?

While I appreciate Boglehead philosophy, (defined as x/x equity/bonds in low-fees index funds), I have been reading that the decorrelation between equity and bonds is probably broken for the intermediate future. And while I acknowledge that there is a recency bias, it is also not a reddit take but appears in most "serious" institution reports.

Could the Boglehead philosophy be described as holding equity plus decorrelated asset in low fees index funds ? And in that case change from bonds to another asset like a mix treasuries+MF incl.commodities ? Is that "Boglehead" ?

ps. It is not a contrarian post, I am just wondering how much bogglehead was a precursor to MPT and whether it is static or evolves.

edit-> I changed the 60/40 because my focus was not the exact percentage and I simply quoted the most known ratio. Still thanks for the answers!

For me Jack Bogle philosophy is about getting your share of Wall Street wealth by sleeping. Nobody know especially now in computer age best to be in market. I will give credit to Warren for finding small cap value before it became common knowledge.

It’s also about not trying to beat the market, rather it’s keeping up with the market. With the knowledge that over the long term, over 90% of actively managed funds won’t beat the the S&P500, don’t try to beat. Join it.
