The paper contains an approach to the understanding of:
-A new global reality -- the result of human behavior which violates constraints in the natural system.
-A philosophical approach which can characterize the circumstances, identify the constraints and depict the means by which sustainable development can be implemented.
-A problem-solving technique using personal beliefs, to develop philosophical ideas.
-An operational definition and guidance principles that will aid in better understanding the constraints and solutions to sustainable development.
-A concept of natural economics is explored which results in a definition for the maximization for the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of the resources and services contained in the natural system.
