agree  Margarita M. Martínez: "area of known" Is "of" needed in this case or is it just a confusion while typing? It looks like an error for me. The rest sounds ok, simple and clear. :)

agree  Wilsonn Perez Reyes: I think this would be the best option, since "naturaleza" doesn't mean "natural" in this context. That is what my intuition as a Spanish-language speaker tells me.

  -> Yes, thank you Wilsonn. For me, the naturaleza bit just tells me it's adjectival.
