Are there any holes in Holism?

Holism is the school of thought where natural systems and their properties should not be

seen as a collection of parts but as wholes. This perspective includes the view that system

function as wholes and their functioning cannot be fully comprehended in terms of their

constituent parts. The definition of holism in itself has a hole in it, in that imagine a complete

system; the system can be infinite or infinite. In our case, we will define this system as the

universe at large. If we were to disintegrate the system into thirds and then put them back

together again, we would realize that no matter how hard we tried to distinguish the difference,

between the sum of the thirds and the original form/ or the entire system. The whole may be in

itself just another part of another system and is not really a whole.
