Definition
The noosphere refers to the differentiation from the
biosphere and the
physiosphere. The noosphere transcends and includes the biosphere which transcends and includes the physiosphere. Said in another way, the noosphere represents the consciousness that chooses to live in harmony with the biosphere or not.
Synonyms could be psychological or sociocultural.
Development
What would be helpful is to have physiosphere and biosphere also defined in a similar manner.
