Ecotomo, Ecopoiesis and no required variety

September 8, 2022

Content

It is proposed that evolutionary processes in living units are fundamentally relational, and that they correlate with waste management or no required variety rather than entropy. The conservation of the culture-nature relationship that emerges as ecopoiesis is the relational viability of human organisation.
