Belief systems
are powerful frameworks of ideas which
shape our relationship to the unknown. They are
usually built upon the wisdom of our tribe. They
often proscribe rules of behavior which we must
follow to attain rewards or avoid punishment in
this or the after world. The complex and often
contradictory storylines requires interpretation
by a priest and agreement by several competing
social classes
.

Social Systems
are the institutions and policies which
shape our relationship with other human beings.
They are usually the result of struggles between
social classes trying to organize society within
the confines of their particular belief systems
for their own benefit and the common good.
Social systems determine how capital is spent
and thereby what kinds of things get built
within a society.
(See Built
systems)

Built Systems
are the physical manifestations of the
belief and social systems as supported by the
resource base of the natural systems. Society
rewards those who create things needed to allow
society to run smoothly within the confines of
the existing belief and social systems. It
ignores or punishes those who recommend beliefs,
policies, products or services which don't
support the existing belief and social
systems.
