Resilience = Diversity x Redundancy x
Connectivity x Manageability

52. Selected Principles
• Biological Complexity,Technological Simplicity
• Transform Dead Matter into Living
• Maximum Outputs for Minimum Inputs
• Resilience = Diversity x Redundancy x Connectivity x
Manageability
• Regeneration Metric = Biomass and Biodiversity
• Structural Diversity Begets Biological Diversity
• Spread Pulses (and Fertility)
• System Establishment versus System Maintenance
• Systems Establishment Overshooting Management Capacity
• Principles Are Only Useful if Actually Followed
