It is proposed that ergonomics and medicine
should involve universal harmonic 1/f rhythms widely encountered
in nature, human body and even in classical music. The life-giving fluctuations
with such hyperbolic spectrum should be contrasted with the destructive
effect of white noise brought by civilization as a hard ecological disease.
Some specific examples of the new paradigm are given, which are based,
as might be expected, on the oldest and fundamental criterion of harmony
— the gold section. Translation of the technosphere and life into harmonic
language of nature would make the human environment healthier and more
comfortable.
