The same statement would hold verbatim as a physical description of our economic process. A corollary of this statement is that an organism cannot live in a medium of its own waste products.\u201d<\/i><br \/>\n\u2013 Herman Daly and Kenneth Townsend<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The concept of energy is essentially an accounting process we have devised for describing the relationships of flow and transformation observed in the fundamental structure of the universe. It is an elegant concept, whether discussing the life of stars, the feeding of bodies or the intensity of industries, the movement of energy is remarkably consistent. In other words, it is very hard to lie about. It has one key characteristic in its movement through systems, the creation of feedback between material structures. Matter congeals from energy, planets and the basic chemical elements of life originate in novae, bronze is forged with fire and earth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Positive feedback structures the growth of energetic systems and negative feedback shapes their stability. Stars and atmospheres remain balanced between gravity and the void, bodies respire, species co-evolve, ecological cycles persist. A self-similar pattern begins to becomes apparent in the flows of energy and matter through our universe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<p><\/center><center><\/center><center><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quantum, Jazz and Dada \u2013 2 Hannah H\u00f6ch Cut with the Dada Kitchen Knife through the Last Weimar Beer-Belly Cultural Epoch in Germany 1919 Ilargi: This is part 2 of Alexander Aston\u2019s view of how upheaval and collapse can lead to new insights, new bursts of creativity, in science, religion, society and the arts.
