¶ Synergy
RBF Definitions
“Behavior of whole systems unpredicted by behavior of any of its parts taken separately from the whole, A stone by itself does not predict its mass attraction for another. (Synergy is the only word in any language having that meaning. The German word gestalt like the English word constellation means a complex standing together, but infers no more than the desirable of having all the regular parts, i.e., not being deformed.) As synergy is not a popular word . . . it is clear that society is not aware of the existence of such a phenomenon. . .”
