Cooperative Health and Climate Care

Toby Hemenway, in The Permaculture City, defines four prime health development principles, adapted as follows: Highest Use orders health maintenance tasks, ecological activities, and growth/decomposition processes in time and space so the first activity in a spiraling sequence leaves as many possible health yields and subsequent reiterative uses as harmonically possible. Highest and deepest use creates balanced wu-wei relationships among health design elements and wealth building processes in and through ecologically rhythmic time and place. Needs As Potential Resources Analysis identifies necessary health inputs and wealth outputs of many nutritional kinds, products, behaviors, characteristics spatial quantities and temporal qualities of each subsystem in an eco/bio-system, including humane-natural/spiritual systems, and connects needs of one element with outputs of another. We thereby design harmonic relationships of WinWin balance among design elements themselves, ourselves. Zones organize design systems by how often they are used and need cooperative maintenance. The most used systems are placed most vulnerably nearest in spacetime to the ZeroZone user or center of identified activity. Zones build health and organize wealth relationships between a system and the user of identified zero-center. Sectors and Species are influences from outside; influences that cannot be altered from within the spacetime system in question. They can be Yang competing physical influences, such as wind and fire, or Yin-cooperative intangible influences, enculturing, creolizing, such as zoning, care giving and receiving customs, LeftBrain polypathic power, and RightBrain emotional polyphonic triggers. We place design elements in relation to species and sectors to feed or bleed energies, or let them pass through with no decompositional effect. Sectors and Species create regenerative relationships between parts of an eco-bio system and Yang forces and Yin-influences shaping enculturation, acclimation outside toward inside each ZeroZone system.
