|t Ecology is a unified organization of knowledge --
|g 2.
|t Ecology seeks to establish the laws of nature --
|g 3.
|t Ecology studies natural systems in their Gaian context --
|g 4.
|t Ecology is holistic --
|g 5.
|t Ecology is teleological --
|g 6.
|t Ecology explains events in terms of their role within the spatio-temporal Gaian hierarchy --
|g 7.
|t Fundamental knowledge is inherited --
|g 8.
|t Fundamental knowledge is ineffable and we mainly have access to it by intuition and via our sense of aesthetics --
|g 9.
|t Ecological knowledge is built up by organizing knowledge in the mind --
|g 10.
|t The mind contains a hierarchical organization of instructions and an associated model or dynamic map --
|g 11.
|t Ecology is qualitative --
|g 12.
|t Only qualitative vernacular models can provide the informational basis for adaptive behavior --
|g 13.
|t Ecology is subjective --
|g 14.
|t Man is cognitively adjusted to the environment in which he is evolved --
|g 15.
|t Ecology is emotional --
|g 16.
|t Ecology is a faith --
|g 17.
|t Ecology reflects the values of the biosphere --
|g 18.
|t A proposition can only be verified in terms of the paradigm or model of which it is part --
|g 19.
|t The ecosphere is one --
|g 20.
|t Gaia is a spatio-temporal entity --
|g 21.
|t Gaia, seen as a total spatio-temporal process, is the unit of evolution --
|g 22.
|t Stability rather than change is the basic feature of the living world --
|g 23.
|t Gaia is alive --
|g 24.
|t Natural systems are homeostatic --
|g 25.
|t Natural systems are homeorhetic --
|g 26.
|t The Gaian process is not random --
|g 27.
|t Gaian life processes are purposive --
|g 28.
|t Life processes are dynamic --
|g 29.
|t Life processes are creative --
|g 30.
|t Life processes are anticipatory --
|g 31.
|t Living things seek to understand their relationship with their environment --
|g 32.
|t Living systems are intelligent --
|g 33.
|t Consciousness is not a prerogative of man --
|g 34.
|t Gaia is the source of all benefits --
|g 35.
|t The ecosphere displays spatio-temporal order --
|g 36.
|t Gaian order is critical --
|g 37.
|t There is no fundamental barrier separating man from other living things --
|g 38.
|t The ecosphere is a hierarchical organization of natural systems --
|g 39.
|t Co-operation is the primary Gaian interrelationship --
|g 40.
|t Competition is a secondary Gaian interrelationship --
|g 41.
|t Natural systems are homeotelic to Gaia --
|g 42.
|t When Gaian control breaks down behavior becomes heterotelic --
|g 43.
|t Natural systems can only behave homeotelically within their tolerance range --
|g 44.
|t The tolerance range of living things is their field or ordered environment --
|g 45.
|t The behavior of a natural system is controlled homearchically by the hierarchy of larger systems of which it is part --
|g 46.
|t As the environment diverges from the optimum, biological maladjustment increases --
|g 47.
|t As the environment diverges from the optimum, social maladjustment increases --
|g 48.
|t As the environment diverges from the optimum, cognitive maladjustment increases --
|g 49.
|t Man is psychically maladjusted to the world as depicted by the paradigm of science --
|g 50.
|t The internalization of control increases stability --
|g 51.
|t Life processes are sequential and tend towards the most stable state --
|g 52.
|t Increased complexity leads to greater stability --
|g 53.
|t By increasing its diversity a system increases the range of environmental challenges with which it is capable of dealing --
|g 54.
|t In a vernacular society education is homeotelic to Gaia --
|g 55.
|t In a vernacular society settlements are homeotelic to Gaia --
|g 56.
|t In a vernacular society economic activity is homeotelic to Gaia --
|g 57.
|t In a vernacular society technology is homeotelic to Gaia --
|g 58.
|t In an ecological economy, money is homeotelic to Gaia --
|g 59.
|t The vernacular economy is localized and hence largely self-sufficient --
|g 60.
|t The vernacular community is the unit of homeotelic behavior --
|g 61.
|t Vernacular man follows the Way --
|g 62.
|t For vernacular man, to increase his stock of "vital force" is to follow the Way --
|g 63.
|t For vernacular man, to serve his gods is to follow the Way --
|g 64.
|t Progress is anti-evolutionary and is the anti-Way --
|g 65.
|t To keep to the Way society must be able to correct any divergence from it --
|g 66.
|t The great reinterpretation requires a conversion to the world-view of ecology --
|g App. 1.
|t Does the entropy law apply to the real world? --
|g App. 2.
|t What is information? --
|g App. 3.
|t The artificialistic fallacy --
|g App. 4.
|t The need for a feedback mechanism linking behavior to evolution.
