Anthere, this is bordering on vandalism. Cut it out, and stop forcing the rest of the world to use YOUR OWN personal terminology. No one else agrees. Cut it out. |
you are the only one agreeing here on uniting these articles. And you are the one spoiling other people work. I don't think I am the vandal here |

[[fr:Théorie Gaïa]]'''Gaia Theory''' of [[Lynn Margulis]] and others is one among other [[Gaia theory|Gaia theories]]. These include some aspects of the ideas that the creatures on a planet modify the nature of the planet, that all creatures on a planet are regulated to the benefit of the whole, and that the entire life biomass and the non-living things which compose the total mass of the earth form a type of regulatory system which in itself would be considered a living being, which is referred to as [[Gaia]] (after the [[Greek Goddess]]). Gaia theories were initiated as the [[Gaia Hypothesis]] by [[James Lovelock]] and Lynn Margulis in 1979. A simple model that is often used to illustrate the original Gaea Hypothesis is the so-called [[Daisyworld]] simulation.

Margulis's version of Gaia Theory modifies the [[Gaia Hypothesis]] to make a lesser claim: that the Earth's [[biosphere]] tends to [[homeorhetic set points]] much like the [[technical ceilings]] and [[technical floors]] purported to exist in the [[stock markets]]. Accordingly, the [[Earth]] is not a living organism which can live or die all at once, but rather a kind of community of trust which can exist at many discrete levels of integration.
Coauthor of the original [[Gaia Hypothesis]], "Lynn Margulis, tells us that Earth is not [[homeostasis|homeostatic]] but [[homeorhetic]]: that is, the composition of Earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere and lithosphere are regulated around "set points" as in [[homeostasis]], but those set points change with time... Gaia is just [[symbiosis]] as seen from space." - [http://cybercentre.greenpeace.org//t/s//996755792/1007012854/1007026932/1013059381 from Greenpeace] apparently in reference to Lynn Margulis, ''Symbiotic Planet: A New View of Evolution''.
