¶ Gestalt
RBF Definitions
“What matters, with regard to both scientific method and social usefulness, is the total physico-economic apicture, the Gestalt of nature-- the patterns that are inherently comprehensive and universal, in contradistinction to what is local. Specific parts of a pattern, the local designs, can be derived from the general design, the comprehensive scheme. The reverse, however, is not true; in nature, society, and industrial complexes, wholes express more than the simple effect resulting from the sum of their respective parts.”
