Can you point me to terminology other than the c++ spec (preferably literature) that defines regular types? I can only find references to this concept in c++ land.

I think this terminology was originally invented by Stepanov. And he used C++ to explain the concept. That's why you can only find references to this concept in C++ land.
https://stepanovpapers.com/DeSt98.pdf is probably the original paper. Others have over time refined and redefined the idea of a regular type.
