It is possible within a bounded system, through manipulation of the built environment using novel combinations of technology, overall system design, and process cycle management, to moderate increases in system entropy for both energy and matter with a structurally coupled external environment. One example embodiment forms an engineered ecosystem, moderating eight primary systems - thermal management, atmospheric optimization, radiation controls, hydrological systems, energy systems, material flows, systems management, and built systems - to provide homeostatic regulation of cascading flows of matter and energy. Ideally the system's symbiotic processes work through reciprocity and devolved autonomy to form the unity of the system that balances resource use, reduces transport requirements, shortens cycles of water, minerals, and residual flows, and offers storage of surplus and reserves. This system enables a stable passive design where in consideration of bounded inputs and outputs, the outputs never exceed inputs. |
