Also, and in general this seems to be a blind spot around here, you might consider the phenomenon 'emergence'. There is no such thing as explaining for instance human behaviour out of quarks. Nature says 'no'.

BP,
Just wanted to thank you for the term "Holistic Persception", never heard it used before and found it's definition quite interesting indeed. (ever had an o.o.b.e.)
"Interconnectivity . . ."

Logic is a very elegant tool, and we've got a lot of mileage out of it for
two thousand years or so. The trouble is, you know, when you apply it to
crabs and porpoises, and butterflies and habit formation---you know, to all
those pretty things, logic won't quite do.
It won’t do, because, that whole fabric of things is not put together by
logic. You see, when you get circular trains of causation, as you always do
in the living world, the use of logic will make you walk into paradoxes.
Just take a thermostat, a quite simple sense organ(instrument), yes?
If it's on, it's off; if it's off, it's on. If yes, then no; if no, then
yes.
Kinda like they lie (logically).
Light on yet?
Yes-no-yes-no-yes-no. You see, the cybernetic equivalent of logic is
oscillation. Heraclitus knew that, and so did Loa Tzu, and so do the trees
over there, logic won't do for them.
So what do they use instead, Metaphor, yep Metaphor.
That's how the whole fabric of mental interconnections hold
together. Metaphor is right at the bottom, of Being alive. -Gregory
Bateson [Steps to an Ecology of Mind]
In an age characterized by fragmentation and overspecialization, Bateson
challenged the basic assumptions and methods of several sciences by looking
for patterns and for processes beneath structures. He declared that
relationship should be the basis of all definition and his main aim was to
discover the principles of organization in all the phenomena he observed,
"the pattern which connects, as he put it.
For me this ideation (showing again the oscillation of the universe/logos)
is the same as 'That', found/discovered, in the canon of Mahayana Buddhism
known as Indras Net.
