- Date: Sun, 6 Jul 2014 13:57:59 -0700
I've posted some thoughts on why I think zone 00 as the state of the
designer's mind is a bad term.
It's at:

Zone 00: Right Intentions, Wrong Term
"One of my pet projects is to clean up the ambiguities and logical
inconsistencies that weaken permaculture terminology. Today I take aim at the
term Zone 00, used to mean either the designer or user of a permaculture
design, or their inner state. It’s a concept spawned by good intentions, but
calling it a zone is logically inconsistent, redundant, and worst of all, has
no design use. The designer’s mind is a crucial influence, but it’s not a
zone. If it’s an influence on a design, that makes it a sector, right? (If
you just slapped your forehead and said “Doh!” then you need read no
further.) So let’s stop using the term zone 00."
Enjoy!
