Bioregional regeneration for planetary health

Good article by Daniel Christian Wahl. I support bioregionalism as the solution. I just have questions about some of the theory in the piece. For example, while acknowledging the need for different solutions in bioregions given their unique diversity, nevertheless there is an overall, global integration at "higher levels of complexity [...] achieved through the evolution of novel forms of cooperation and the weaving of syntropic relationships."

That sounds right to me, given the path we've been on exemplifies an "abstracting, generalising, norming, reductive, mechanistic" approach. And yet this syntropic web of relationships is still using the fractal model of "redundancy at different scales," to me indicative of the old approach. As I argued in this paper, that sort of fractal, scale-free redundancy does not align with statistical studies of the diversity of numerous networks under examination. As I suggested, then perhaps a web of 'synplex' relationships does not have that sort of fractal integration, but certainly a syntegration with different axiomatic principals.
