"You cannot perceive the emergent quality unless you view the "whole" from its context. Specialists and reductionists are trained to ignore the context. The function of the whole, that which confers on it the ability to survive, is not a property of the parts but a property of the whole within its context. Since reductionists disavow the context by necessity to get at immediate cause and effect, they are caught without the tools to see the emergent quality/function."
