The Sphere in the middle represents World Sphere with energy flowing through structures of entities driven by relationship patterns in the sequence executed as processes (action & reaction). Each cycle is unique and equally important for ecosystem and holds basic elements of particular system, which is driven by #Matter in relevant World (the Sphere inside the central cycle). ![[Pasted image 20230709105520.png|Figure1: Structure of System Sphere]] This ecosystem of [[system spheres]] might pose an impression, that in order to preserve cyclical flows of matter and energy we have to secure sustainability at all cost. However, sustainability doesn’t mean that things do not change; it is a dynamic process which could create next evolution or revolution stage, very often connected to power and knowledge attributes, it is not a static state. Subsequently, this observation means that in order to follow principles of **self-generating networks** (Living Systems) we have to follow #Ecoliteracy principles and redesign our systems (construct the Eco Design patterns as part of their DNA) by applying ecological knowledge. Only these steps will allow development of **ecologically sustainable systems**. ![[Pasted image 20230709155819.png|Figure 2: Ecosystem of System Spheres]] As a first step, we have to use ecosystem enabled language at all levels of all systems, which will support intersystem communication and translation of ecosystem related processes between all system entities utilizing their relationship patterns. Shift from product oriented economies, as we know them today, to service & flow economies, will support ecosystem ideas by product recycling and by moving from ownership exclusive model to rent / shared model (eco-design oriented). The ecosystem enabled language also has to support new wave of business models in order to support sustainability principle. As we know, all business markets [CoB] are running today on machine networks [IoT]. This means we have to design and implement proposed ecosystem language for machines – computers serving business networks.
