Holons as Building Blocks
- Holons are fundamental building blocks of reality, not just parts or wholes.
- Arthur Koestler and Ken Wilber suggest reality is a nested hierarchy of holons.
Defining Holons
- A holon is simultaneously a part and a whole, like cells in a body.
- This concept is relativistic, depending on your perspective.
Nested Holons
- Leo Gura uses the example of the human body, Earth, and the solar system to explain nested holons.
- He illustrates how each is both a whole and part of a larger system.
