Principles related to zone 4

Observe and interact
Observing my surroundings, opportunities arising, connections made.. and to creatively and consciously interact with these surroundings to be of most benefit to all around. 

Catch and store energy
Energy may come from a variety of sources. On a practical level, the physical energy for manufacturing will need to be harvested from the surrounding available renewable resources. Energy for the people involved will need to be given in depth attention, putting priority on the happiness and welfare of all and their personal and social well being. Also with the creation of a working environment, many interesting challenges and opportunities will arise regarding the energy use of the building. 

Obtain a yield
A main focus is to be financially productive, so there will be regular check ins to ensure things are going to plan. Also being aware of any further interesting opportunities that may arise. 

Apply self regulation and accept feedback

Again important to make sure things are going to plan and not getting side tracked. 

Use and value renewable resources and services

This will be crucial in the creation of an ethical company.

Produce no waste
I will need to have a system in place to fully integrate all waste into a closed loop system. 

Design from patterns to details
Taking the outlines/patterns that have been developed earlier, and filling in all the little details that will make it work smoothly. 

Integrate rather than segregate
Integrating all ideas, all people, all options, into a holistic design that fills many functions. 

Use small and slow solutions
Taking small steps all the way, practising patience, allowing the time needed to build the vision to it's fullest. 

Use and value diversity
Taking diverse areas of influence and a wide area of expertise from the people involved. 

Use edges and value the marginal
Pushing edges and personal boundaries, opportunities for expanding growth

Creatively use and respond to change
When change occurs, as it always does, facing it with creativity and making the most of the new opportunities it brings.
