Ecological Thinking: Systems, Feedback Loops, and the Logic of Living Worlds
A deep dive into ecology as a framework for understanding complex, interconnected systems — from energy flows through food webs to why ecosystems collapse and recover. This course equips systems thinkers with the scientific vocabulary and mental models of ecology: trophic levels, feedback loops, niches, resilience, succession, nutrient cycling, and the adaptive cycle. It also shows how these ideas translate beyond biology into economies, organizations, and knowledge systems.
