At the core permaculture is optimisation of those processes by which natural systems feedback against each other, to create a pattern of energy exchanges that benefits us. 

This generally takes the form of connecting mutally beneficial systems together and composting...

This is what GoT is all about, connecting systems (in this case sometime very distance systems)  by data. To allow the equipment you have to perform mutally beneficial tasks and minmise your own need to apply disproportionate work to any system. And maximise your yield, whether that be carrots or cash.
