Birch and Cobb maintain that the ecological
model is more adequate than the mechanical
model for explaining DNA, the cell, other biological subject matter (
as well
as subatomic physics), because it holds that living things behave
as they do only in interaction
with other things which constitute their environment (LL 83) and because «the constituent elements of the structure at each level (of an
organism) operate in patterns of interconnectedness which are not mechanical» (LL 83).
