Abstract:
Living Systems Laboratory for a Change Making Society Living has been an ever-evolving system in this world. Humans who once lived in caves today have built enclosures that have hundreds of sensors. But the intent behind every changing system has been the same- to create something better. In this urge to find better, humans found an abundance of innovative solutions such as farming, medicine, paper, electricity, telephone, car, and so much more that at every step evolved the systems of life. But in this process humans lost a lot of basic resources that enabled these innovations and today we are facing one of the biggest ecological, energy, resource, and hence social crises all over the world. At this point humans need to go back, evaluate the previous living systems and derive a new one where living corresponds to the local ecology, the community, the individual, and finally the sustainability and efficiency in its systems. The Dhun project aspires to build on a similar principle a living systems lab with the help of people who want to bring a change in the living pattern of this world.
