There are no cause-effect relations in the functioning of the biosphere.

The law of diffusion is the controlling factor in the stability of the biosphere.

Law of diffusion:  The larger the concentration gradient, the larger the diffusivity of the system.

The stability of the biosphere makes possible the development of life.

Civil engineering design needs to pay attention to the cybernetic laws of the biosphere's functioning.

Holistic analysis is more complex than the conventional Cartesian analysis
[x-y relations].

The analysis is interdisciplinary.
