Organization and Complexity

"Hence, organization connects parts to each other and parts to the whole. This gives rise to the complex character of the relation between the parts and the whole. Dilthey2 stated: “A whole cannot be understood except by understanding its constituent parts, which cannot be understood except by understanding the whole.”" (Morin, 2021, p. 109) (pdf)

"There is a close relation between the concepts of organization, interrelation, and system.4 These three terms, although inseparable, can be distinguished from each other. The concept of interrelation refers to the types and forms of links between elements and between the elements and the whole. The concept of system refers to the complex unit of an interrelated whole, to its characteristics and properties. The concept of organization refers to the structuring of the parts within, with and through a whole. The two notions, organization and system, are linked by that of interrelation: the whole interrelation, if it has stability or regularity, acquires an organized character and produces a system. There is a circular reciprocity between these three terms. When the notion of system disperses the quality of being and existing (to say “living systems” tends to take the emphasis away from living beings and their existential dimension), the notion of organization refers to something concrete." (Morin, 2021, p. 109) (pdf)
