Sir Vivor.

See my last post on this thread. I know I am dealing with sniper, and after today I have no interest in dialogue with you.

That said,

Barry Commoner seemingly is addressing Ecological “Systems”:

Commoner is addressing the dynamics of ecological "systems".

Alternatively, the works of historians and antropologists, I have cited, adress the conjunction of societies and the interface between ecology and culture. Cultures must comply [v. act in accordance with] the laws [n.general princples deduced from the facts] of ecology [n. the study of the relationship between living things and their enviroment]. [Ref: CPD]

Commoner doesn't have a monolopoly on the term, Laws of Ecology. I used these words as words in my English sentence.

Having spend all this time gatherinng information and contemplating the topic and defining what other posters "don't" know. What do you know about the topic? What is your contribution

dver, re:

Oliver, if you wish to lay claim to your own "Laws of Ecology", be my guest. Hopefully you can provide a lasting contribution to human knowledge, and your statements of the patterns you describe will be more precise and amenable to quantitative expression than Barry Commoner's 4 laws.

Likewise, you may be able to come up with a useful definition of "ecologically non-compliant". One which both ecologists, cr4oss-cultural psychologists and anthropologists find valuable.

My contribution, for you: you could also add Gregory Bateson to your reading list. Try "Steps to an Ecology of Mind". Bateson had some interesting insights into psychology and anthropology. Maybe he added, in some way, to my idea that it's presumptuous to make recommendations about folks I've never met, whose way of life I don't really understand. I made a similar comment in my last post, but it must have gone under your radar.

Also, I would recommend that you compose in a word-processing program with a spell-checker and grammar checker. I find my work is easier to understand for doing so, and well worth the extra time it takes.

You may choose to view these comments as "sniping", but there is also the possibility that I'm trying to be helpful.
