These rules are derived from the influences of: - Process Philosophy - Dynamical Systems Theory - Galenic / Humoral Medicine - Modern Herbal Traditions: Vitalism, Physiomedicalism, Medical Herbalism etc. It is important to note here that the creator of this system has worked within the traditions of: - Plant Spirit Herbalism - Vitalism - Medical Herbalism While also having a background in modernizing Galenic texts and researching Humoral Medicine. ## The Clinical System: Rules > Axioms > Corollaries > Formulation Principles > Assessment Sequence ## Relational Ethics: See: [[Relational Ethics]] The relational ethics are guidelines for how we should act within the world and with all species. As such, it is a companion to the clinical system and can be viewed both through it’s foundational metaphysic and outside of it through the influences of ecospheric ethics, eco-chaplaincy, and relational kinship. ## Meta Rule: *The fundamental underlying rule that governs all others* Assess the landscape before the state, the mode before the quality, the basin before the direction, the hub before the symptom, the phase before the herb, and the control parameters before the formula — then prescribe the minimum sufficient vector to move the organism toward the conditions in which its own self-organising capacity can restore it.
