tems. Beyond this baseline approach, design human-nature ecosystems as co-spatial processes
in which all underlying living processes contribute to the co-evolution of one holistic regenerative and adaptive structure (Fig. 8.6).
Downward links:
The pattern Regenerative Ecosystems [8] demands a human-nature ecosystem that recognises all living
systems as a manifestation of their underlying processes and flows of energy, information, materials and organisms, which ultimately contribute to The Whole [1] through co-evolution of a regenerative-adaptive process.
This requires us to participate to the Transformations Of Wholeness [9] as part of nature, embedded in the
unfolding of complex structures …
