Synergetic Hierarchies:
"I’ve given you the synergy of synergies… Then we found that precession was not predicted by mass attraction. The chemical compounds are not prophesied by the atoms. And the biological protoplasm is not predicted by the chemical compounds. And the design of the elephant or the pine tree is not predicted by the protoplasm.
"In view of the hierarchy of hierarchy of synergies, where we have to get the Universe in order to have the greatest… and then find ing that the behavior of the wholes and the known behavior of some of the parts, permits you to find out some of the others…
“What Euler found was the differentiation of all the fundamental visual aspects of our experiences-- which has to do with the eye and the radiation frequencies. But Gibbs’ phase rule gives you then the difference between liquids, crystallines and gases-- which is really not to do with the eye, they would be tactile. One is really energy as radiation and the other is energy as matter. These are two very different affairs. Euler gives you the Universe as radiation, or the coming apart phase. And what”
