From the Paper:

"It is also relevant to touch on the work of Gregory Bateson; in researching possible solutions and definitions towards the management of "complex environmental problems" (Tognetti, 1999), Bateson believed, in the paraphrase of Sylvia S. Tognetti, that "one of the major fallacies of the scientific community is the premise that it is possible to have total control over an interactive system of which oneself is a part." "
