This document discusses how cities can be viewed as living organisms based on biological principles. It argues that just as the human body has essential functions organized in a fractal transport system, cities also have essential functions like waste processing, energy production, and protection that operate across different scales from individual buildings to the overall city. To keep the various layers and cycles of a city synchronized and balanced, the inhabitants must focus on shared goals and values through open communication, making cultural centers that unite people in the heart of the city very important.

Every time when the Factories fused they became more Efficient, Bigger, Stronger, Older and therefore more Competitive. When the Factories became more Competitive they had to Protect themselves against the other Factories. To Protect themselves the Multi-Cellular Systems started to Sense in Many Directions and became better and better in Predicting the Future.

- 20. The different layers of the Town move with different Cycle Times. If we want to keep the City in Balance we have to Synchronize the Cycles. How does this Happen?
- 21. Synchronization
- 22. Synchronization When Humans Communicate from the Heart and are Focused on the Same Subject, they Always Synchronize.
- 23. To Synchronize a City the Inhabitants have to Focus on a Shared Goal and Communicate about this Goal. That is Why the Coherence of the Social Network of the City is very Important. One of the most Important Buildings in the City to Commune is the Cultural Center (or the Church). It has to be situated in the Heart of the City.
