We analyzed the essential characteristics of "Nature" by referring to the novel ways of agriculture such as "Natural Farming" and "Permaculture" and also to the well-known method of architectural and environmental design, "Pattern Language". These analyses resulted in a novel notion of a system structure called "stackedness" which reflects the essential characteristics of "naturalness" in various ecosystems, particularly, "soil" used in farming. Next, we analyzed the existence and the co-existence of individuals (selves) are analyzed by referring to "nursing theories" and "narrative approaches to caring". Also, by introducing Leibnizian notions of space and time and also notions of the Petri net and Existential Graph, we introduced a deep structural model of "self" and a "plant-like" model of "narrative generation" in a soil-like "stacked" infrastructure, which provides us with ways to restore naturalness to our Cybersociety.
