Dear Stefanie
This is a further support to the suggestion in my previous post. Please
refer to the closing words in Georegescu-Roegen's 'monument', "The Entropy
Law", pp. 359-364, that I have just finished reading.
As per Georegescu-Roegen's conclusion, interrogating 'men' about their
traditions as exosomatic adaptations of their endosomatic features (i.e.
artefacts) to respective local environments, that will prevent you to get
stranded along the common fallacy, especially in bio-mimicry trend, that
knowledge will derive only in reasoning and in close observing 'natural'
(mostly animal), phenomena and behaviors.
Good luck!
