Here's why it's difficult to give a clear yes/no:
* The "Natural World" is Absent: The Divergent series is set in a dystopian future where the natural world is largely absent. There are mentions of the "outside," which is viewed as a dangerous and uncivilized place, but there's no real exploration of nature itself.
* "Divergent" Refers to Individuals: The term "Divergent" refers to individuals who don't fit neatly into any of the five factions (Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, Erudite). They are seen as a threat to the social order, not because they are connected to nature, but because they challenge the rigid system.
Instead of "distrust," the series focuses on fear and suppression:
* Fear of the Unknown: The "outside" is feared because it's unknown and potentially dangerous. This fear is ingrained in society.
* Suppression of Individuality: Divergent individuals are feared because they represent a threat to the established social order, not because they're "natural" in any way.
In summary: The concept of a "divergent natural world" doesn't exist in the Divergent series. Instead, the focus is on the suppression of individuality and fear of the unknown, which are connected to the dystopian society's control over its citizens.
