Nature thrives on diversity and flexibility, gaining strength from
heterogeneity, whereas the quest for homogeneity seems to motivate
much of modern engineering. Nature is non-linear and inherently
promotes multiplicity of solutions. Modern applied science,
however, continues to define problems as linearly as possible,
promoting "single"-ness of solution, while particularly avoiding
non-linear problems. Nature is inherently sustainable and promotes
zero-waste, both in mass and energy. Engineering solutions today
start with a "safety factor" while promoting an obsession with
excess (hence, waste). Nature is truly transient, never showing any
exact repeatability or steady state. Engineering today is obsessed
with standards and replicability, always seeking "steady-state"
solutions. This book promotes the approach that breaks out of the
traditional path of linearising natural phenomena and accepting
research that is inherently pro-nature. This book offers the best
hope of finally emulating nature rather than deviating from it.
