"In most ecological systems you have a composite, biotic components as well as abiotic components acting together to form a whole, whereas in a human built environment most of the components are abiotic or they are inorganic.

The Lord is shouting, "Run into that house of hope!"”
“When lost in a forest go always down hill. When lost in a philosophy or doctrine go upward.”
