It must evolve its umbrella setup into a more manageable structure with legitimate executive powers.
Constructal theory is the view that (i) the generation of images of design (pattern, rhythm) in nature is a phenomenon of physics and (ii) this phenomenon is covered by a principle (the constructal law): 'for a finite-size flow system to persist in time (to live) it must evolve such that it provides greater and greater access to the currents that flow through it'.
Bejan has spent much of his career working with thermodynamics and convection heat transfer, which have improved the performance of engineering systems, and on his own original constructal theory, which states that for a system to survive, it must evolve to increase its access to flow.
Constructal law states that "for a finite-size system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve in such a way that it provides greater and greater access to the currents flowing through it".
Suzan Mazur: You've said that "For a finite-size system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve in such a way that it provides easier access to the imposed (global) currents that flow through it".
The theory states that for a design (an animal, a river basin) to persist in time, it must evolve to move more freely through its environment.
Even Vietnam, America's old foe, is clearer than ever that it wants America's stabilising, reassuring presence.Yet, if the liberal order is to survive, it must evolve.
As such, strategy can never be a constant; it must evolve.
The move toward valuation of ecosystem services that allows for the communication and promotion of biodiversity conservation is promising, but it must evolve as part of a process that influences decision-making.
A recent review published by the Government Office for Science, on making the most of scientists and engineers in government, aims to lift the lid on the government science and engineering profession and consider how it must evolve to meet the needs of the future civil service.
