Life support systems (LSSs) are autonomous integrating various generation, recycling, and consumption subsystems with storage capability to maintain the balance of key system compounds. A novel hierarchical control is proposed in this paper operate an exemplary controlled ecological LSS. The study focuses on O2 concentration crew compartment, as main consumer a LSS, while coordinating network b...

A representational approach to ecological psychology is presented. This paper identifies a computational-level commonality in ecological psychology research related to passability of apertures. It is argued that a cognitive mechanism capable of comparing the geometric properties of an environment and the geometric properties of the agent can be used to support judgments for action in space.

This view favors a Heideggerian/Gibsonian metaphysic over the more conventional rationalistic orientation. In this alternative view, notions of subjective presence and objective presence no longer exist. Presence is instead tied to one’s successfully supported action in the environment, this...

We develop a model that reveals the preservation value of maintaining connectivity within socio-ecological system (SES). By means multiplex network, built from layers composing sustainability Venn diagram, we define two measures inter- and intra-layer connections. Most policymakers researchers have tended to assume all elements an SES are unconditionally connected, which implied dimensions sust...
