## Questions
|
||||
- Have we kneecapped ourselves through rigid classification, and artificial specialization?
|
||||
- Are these contradictions? Discuss:
|
||||
- The Composition Law:
|
||||
> The whole is more than the sum of its parts.
|
||||
- The Decomposition Law:
|
||||
> The part is more than a fraction of the whole
|
||||
- Are they? If the "part" were less than the fraction of the whole, how could the whole possibly be more than the sum of its parts?
|
||||
- But then, all the parts together must be greater than the whole
|
||||
- But the whole is greater than the sum of all parts...
|
||||
- I say it's flawed to distinguish whole and part. The arithmetic doesn't work out because they're necessarily interconnected.
