holon

A holon is a whole functional and structural unit while at the same time a part of a larger whole, which is itself a part of an even larger whole.

There may well be something to institutional economics and the notion of a holon.

Personally, I'm still searching for the holon system that was used in Suarez' Daemon series.

Ruminant holon systems like those used by Polyface Farms (Joel Salatin of Omnivore Dilemma fame) are incredibly efficient at both producing calories and utilizing waste products.

Just sapience, so a single human brain is a holon.

> All Samaritans in both Holon and Kiryat Luza are Israeli citizens, but those in Kiryat Luza also hold Palestinian citizenship.

For example, a mitochondrion is a structural and functional unit with its own code of instructions while being a part of a cell, which is another holon, which is part of an organism, another holon, which is part of a social group, yet another holon.

I solved this by building holonically, same structure as you have it seems roughly, so I actually, through a ui can grab a holon and inject it into context including its children ( holon ~ nested heirarchy ), And I usually use semantic search so Ill add that in as well.

The holon represents a way to overcome the dichotomy between parts and wholes, as well as a way to account for both the self-assertive and the integrative tendencies of organisms.[1] The term was coined by Arthur Koestler in The Ghost in the Machine (1967).

The neuter form (used as a noun here I assume) would be "holon" and the plural of that, "hola".

According to holon theory, everything that can be considered a "whole" (eg: a particle) emerges from a stack of parts which in turn can be considered wholes which emerge from their own stack of parts.

The core of their theory divides evolution of "holons" (simultaneous parts&wholes) on 2 axies: internal vs outer processes and individual vs society Problems arise when a node stretches too far in a particular direction, or fuses to tightly with its current "holon" level and refuses to synthesize its axis to evolve.

Holons as a category can only externally observe their internal processes, else they are not a holon.

Holon para ta moria (ὁλον παρα τα μορια).

> As of 2022, the Samaritan community is estimated to number around 874 people, split almost evenly between Israel (some 460 in Holon) and the Israeli-occupied West Bank (some 380 in Kiryat Luza).
