PERMACULTURE is a Human/Earth OS variant, so why not extend its principles of harmonious co-existence through to technological metaphors, softwares and computing paradigms?

“Permaculture design principles extend from the position that “The only ethical decision is to take responsibility for our own existence and that of our children” (Mollison, 1990). The intent was that, by rapidly training individuals in a core set of design principles, those individuals could design their own environments and build increasingly self-sufficient human settlements — ones that reduce society’s reliance on industrial systems of production and distribution that Mollison identified as fundamentally and systematically destroying the Earth’s ecosystems.”

“If we reflect on the history of evolution we witness a revolutionary transition from evolution governed by spontaneous biological factors (the period of Biogenesis) to evolution governed by human mind, and now, to the period of noogenesis10. Noogenics is a science of logic so that people think and behave in anew and rational way for the intelligent management of interrelations between humans and nature…”

Yup. Let’s hurry it along, shall we?
Amen, here’s some research notes on the substrate for this kinda wetworks:

Digging back into eXistenZ, the weirdo Cronenberg movie about biologically engineered mutant reptiles providing a virtual reality platform through “Umby” cords into a spinal Bioport interface. The reptile “pods” draw their power from the human nervous system, which is why you can’t miss a meal. Nifty film and the concept has really lingered with me.
Speaking of living interfaces and CosmOS:

[...] Modern holistic analogues to animism, such as Permaculture, look at living systems as a whole, with interlocking holonic bionomic networks of minute energy, chemical and other transactions, inputs & outputs happening at all levels of scale, instantiating and sustaining multidirectional feedback loops, and communicative pathways. As any given system (cosmOS) gains in complexity, it gains in chaos or unpredictability, and trends towards various emergent behaviors [see also: parthenogenesis, athena-owl]. [...]
