Abstract
First, based on the many levels and their cycles in geoscience, we research the hypercycle of geoscience. This is the hypercycle as a tool of self-organization applied to geoscience. It may form from a level to other higher levels. These levels influence each other and the co-evolution. Second, we discuss some possible mathematical methods, which include graph, vector, matrix, some equations, [...] Read more.
First, based on the many levels and their cycles in geoscience, we research the hypercycle of geoscience. This is the hypercycle as a tool of self-organization applied to geoscience. It may form from a level to other higher levels. These levels influence each other and the co-evolution. Second, we discuss some possible mathematical methods, which include graph, vector, matrix, some equations, similar theories, etc. This method can be developed and perfected. Third, we propose the nonlinear whole geoscience and its three basic laws. Fourth, we discuss thermodynamics of geoscience, and in which possible entropy decrease under some sates, such as evolution and cycles of Earth, etc. Sustainable development of society must study the mode from high entropy to low entropy. Various cycles in geoscience cannot all be entropy increases, and cannot all be originated from the external interactions.
