Lecture Notes:

Solve in the pattern - Wendell Berry

examples

industrial, industrial organic, artisan farms

pictures of ditch - mcnamee road

dairy farm

Patterns of interaction

complex patterns (objects interacting createing new landscape)

simple - ice melting with temp

complex - reflectance and ice

patterns (external driver vs. pos feedback)

We rely on metaphors

to start thinking about problems

framing discussion

considering possible solutions

moving to more complex metaphors

metaphors

use of metaphors

likelihood method

precautionary principle
