Chapter 05 — Need and opportunity, Paragraph 5.1 (§05.00.05.01)

To answer this question, two clarifications are necessary. The first is that ‘natural’ means according to its nature, not that it exists in Nature (i.e. is not made). It could well be the case that something might not exist in Nature (e.g. a nest) but is natural to a Being in the sense that it is in its nature to make it (e.g. a nest is natural to a bird). The second clarification is that any assessment is based on a human understanding, that is, on the Unique Human Observer Perspective. ‘Natural’, then, is something unavoidable according to human understanding and perception, something that cannot not happen. In other words, (human-perceived) necessity decides what is natural (on the question of what is ‘natural’ in the digital world, see §05.00.06).
