Abstract: Abstract Chapter 5 describes in detail the distinguishing features of a naturalistic environment and explores each of the four fundamental assumptions of a naturalistic environment (i.e. that they are inherent unknowable, highly interconnected, probabilistic and related to consciousness and mind). To illustrate these assumptions some examples of apparently deterministic situations are closely examined to reveal that they have inherent naturalistic properties. Two additional specific features of naturalistic environments, the presence of humans and the systems principle of emergence, are then discussed.
