Life creates conditions conducive to Life

Disciplines

Nature as model, measure & mentor

Biomimicry is a new way of viewing and valuing nature, based not on what we can extract from the natural world, but what we can learn from it.

The Technology of Nature/Biology

Conditions: a-biotic nature

Biomimicry reminds us that life is directly or indirectly subject to Earth’s operating conditions: Earth is in a state of dynamic non-equilibrium.Earth runs on sunlight, water and gravityEarth is subject to limits and boundaries.Nature uses cyclical process

LIFE’s PRINCIPLES

Evolve To Survive Replicate strategies that work Integrate the unexpected Reshuffle information

Be Resource Efficient Use multi-functional design Use low energy process Recycle all materials Fit form to function

Adapt to Changing Conditions Maintain integrity thru self-renewal Embody resilience thru variation, redundancy, & decentralization Incorporate diversity

LIFE PRINCIPLES

Integrate Development & Growth - Combine modular & nested components - Build from the bottom up - Self-organize

Be Locally Attuned & Responsive - Use readily available materials & energy - Cultivate cooperative relationships - Leverage cyclic processes - Use feedback loops

Use Life-Friendly Chemistry - Build selectively with a small subset of elements - Break down products into benign constituents - Do chemistry in water

Peace - Vrede

Vrede = de afwezigheid van geweld Vrede = een dynamische balans (cold war) solar forest/zonnebossen die

helpen energie op te wekken en onafhankelijk te worden en om oorlogen rond pijpleidinge te voorkomen.)

Vrede = samenwerken natuur ontwijkt zoveel mogelijk competitie en agressie

Vrede = er is nog nooit zo weinig geweld in de wereld geweest . (Pinker, “The Better Angels of Our Nature” )

Pinker convincingly demonstrates that there has been a dramatic decline in violence, and he is persuasive about the causes of that decline.

But what of the future? Nature (August, 2011) data from the past half-century to show that in tropical regions, the risk of

a new civil conflict doubles during El Niño years (when temperatures are hotter than usual and there is less rainfall).

If correct, then a warming world could mean the end of the relatively peaceful era in which we are now living.(Review Pinker, 2011, economist by Singer)

Peace and Biomimicry

Kunnen ze elkaar versterken? Wat moet er dan gebeuren?
