We should continuously strive to explore and understand the laws, principles and structural patterns of nature and social harmony and try to design systems accordingly.
Most of the species try to align themselves with Ritam - the fundamental rules, principles and structural pattern of nature and society. However, humans have the ability to go beyond that. Our systems should be designed in a manner that such deviations are net reversible.

All living beings including humans are part of the same interconnected and interdependent family. Humans are one among the millions of species.
No species including humans should overwhelmingly dominate other species. There must be a healthy balance among their numbers and relationships. All of these species, including humans are interconnected and interdependent on each other, hence systems should be designed while ensuring this harmony.

Ecological footprint of our actions and systems should be zero-sum or netpositive.
Ecological footprint of our systems and processes should be budgeted. They should be coupled with others in a manner that they collectively lead to net gain or zero sum. Systems should be designed to incentivize net carbon absorption and penalize net carbon emission.

Systems should lead individuals and communities towards greater autonomy and less dependencies.
Our man-made systems, consumption patterns and environmental conditions demand us to become interdependent and interconnected. However, it should not lead to a situation of coercion. Therefore, to avoid any such possibility, individuals and communities must be empowered to become as much self-sufficient as much possible.
