REGENERATIVE/REMEDIAL/POSITIVE SUM: First responder in ecosystem regeneration. Digests externally, producing materials for life to exist. Breaks down plastic, oil, hydrocarbons. Stimulates neuronal regrowth. 2. HUMBLE: Growing where nothing else will grow. On a pile of shit, out of sight, in the lowest of the low. 3. NETWORKED/DISTRIBUTED/ANARCHIST: No central command. Local subsidiarity, problem solving at the edges. 4. ANTI-FRAGILE: Disturb a mycelial network, and it grows more dense. 5. FRACTAL: Self-similar structures up & down. 6. MUTUALIST/COOPERATIVE/INTEROPERABLE/COMPOSABLE: Interfaces intelligently with many different species with positive sum outcomes (most of the time - nature is also [brutal](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-this-zombie-fungus-turns-cicadas-into-horror-movie-sex-bots/)). 7. EMERGENT/ADAPTIVE: Constantly adapting new strategies, power sources (e.g. nuclear radiotrophic mushrooms) 8. POLYCENTRIC: Local diversification/specialization as required. E.g. nearby penicillin factory for battling bacteria 9. CONSOLIDATE POWER UNDERGROUND: power base established before presenting itself to the world 10. REDISTRIBUTIVE: Effective resource allocation networks for getting nutrients around a network (water, carbon, antibacterial compounds, etc) 11. CONTINUOUS FLOW: Persistent, circular flows. Not discrete. No hoarding. 12. OPTIMISTIC: Building for a better future. 13. UBIQUITOUS: Ever present, persistent. Ancient.
