Yes. Anti-mechanist often refer to "the whole is bigger
than the parts", but nowhere else than in computer and
engineering is it more true that the whole is bigger than
the part, if only because the whole put some specific
structure o
is it more true that the whole is bigger than the part, if
only because the whole put some specific structure on the
relation between parts.
We might simplify this by saying that the whole *structural
complexity* grows like an exponential (or more) when the whole

What I called The Aris - Total- meaning Aristotle's maxim that /the 'whole' is bigger

H Bruno,
Could you source some further discussions of this idea?
I thought it was common sense. With a coffee

H Bruno,
Could you source some further discussions of this idea? From my own
study of Cantor's tower of infinities, I have found the opposite,
complexity goes to z
