There are multiple interpretations of sustainability. In this chapter sustainability is defined as the force that tames an exponential growth that is not sustainable. The exponential growth is composed of one resultant force which translates in a simple algorithm but actually is much more complex, as it is composed of multiple forces vectorial in nature that conspire to create the resultant exponential unsustainable growth. Therefore if this unsustainable force must be tamed, it can only be done by re-aligning the multiple forces that create it. These forces need to meet one or preferably two requirements: whatever we do has to be scalable, that is, be able to be done in very large numbers without detriment to the environment and depleting resources and second, it has to be able to be carried out for a long time horizon.
