Design the working relationships and connections between all things.

Each component in a system performs multiple functions, and each function is supported by many elements.

Key to efficient design is observation and replication of natural ecosystems, where designers maximize diversity, stress efficient energy planning, using and accelerating natural succession, and increasing the highly productive "edge-zones" within the system.

Now take any system, natural or man-made and build the controls for cross linkages and feedback.

I highly doubt this is something which is taught in academia.

Particularly for me, since I don't really stop at people or technology or plants. I go Da Vinci
