Notes
The latter are based on assumptions about an existing ‘balance in Nature’, and tend to focus their analysis and recommendations using aggregate patterns whose variations they try to control, instead of responding and adapting to them.
Risk defined as situations in which the range of potential results and probabilities is known; incertitude, where possible results are known but there is no way to establish probabilities, and where discernment prevails; ambiguity, where there is a divergence on the nature of results or different groups prioritize incompatible perspectives; and ignorance, where nobody knows results or it is impossible to know them, so that unpredictability prevails.
