This definition is nonsensical. "outside" of what? How is a beaver or a human building a thing less natural than wind and water building it without intent? Are bird's nests unnatural? Really? And ant tunnels?When he was discussing this with me in his last incarnation a few pages ago, at some point I defined it for him. It was something to the effect of, "Occurring in nature without outside help." So termite mounds and beaver damns do not occur in nature as you won't find one that wasn't built by termites or beavers. Bees are natural. Beehives are not. Humans are natural. Clothing is not. And so on.
Beaver dams and the Hoover Dam are both natural. The ideology you're espousing is predicated on a harmful dualistic conception of the world, one step removed from the Sacred/Profane division that calls the physical world sinful and evil and conceives that only the immaterial can be good. And equally well supported. :/
