HOLON (Philosophy) From Wikipedia: From the Greek holos=whole and on=entity It is something that is simultaneously a whole and a part.

v     A holon refers to a system (or phenomenon) that is a whole in itself, as well as a part of a larger system. It can be systems nested within each other. Every system can be considered a holon, from a subatomic particle to the universe as a whole.

v     Since a holon is embedded in larger wholes, it is influenced by and influences these larger wholes. And since a holon also contains subsystems(parts), it is similarly influenced. Information flows back and forth between these smaller and larger systems, when the information flow and understanding of role is compromised, the system begins to break down.

v     The concept of a holon shows us how we are all connected to each other and everyhting. And without one part, no matter the size, nothing else could exist.
