A fractal is close to the idea of holon, as it is a part that represents a whole at the same time. Do seeds contain trees or do trees contain seedsWe could say both are true, because trees and seeds is an example of a holon. A holon Greek, holon neuter form of, holos whole is something that is simultaneously a whole and a part. The word was coined by Arthur Koestler in his book The Ghost in the Machine 1. Koestler was influenced by two observations in proposing the notion of the holon. The first observation was influenced by Herbert A. Simons parable of the two watchmakersin which Simon concludes that complex systems evolve from simple systems much more rapidly when there are stable intermediate forms present in the evolutionary process than if they are not present. The second observation was made by Koestler himself in his analysis of hierarchies and stable intermediate forms in non living matter atomic and molecular structure, living organisms, and social organizations. He concluded that, although it is easy to identify sub wholes or parts, wholes and parts in an absolute sense do not exist anywhere. Koestler proposed the word holon to describe the hybrid nature of sub wholes and parts within in vivo systems. From this perspective, holons exist simultaneously as self contained wholes in relation to their sub ordinate parts, and as dependent parts when considered from the inverse direction. Koestler also says holons, self reliant units that possess a degree of independence and handle contingencies without asking higher authorities for instructions. I. e. they have a degree of autonomy. These holons are also simultaneously subject to control from one or more of these higher authorities. The first property ensures that holons are stable forms that are able to withstand disturbances, while the latter property signifies that they are intermediate forms, providing a context for the proper functionality for the larger whole. Finally, Koestler defines a holarchy as a hierarchy of self regulating holons that function first as autonomous wholes in supra ordination to their parts, secondly as dependent parts in sub ordination to controls on higher levels, and thirdly in coordination with their local environment. General definitioneditA holon is a system or phenomenon that is an evolvingself organizingdissipativecitation neededstructure, composed of other holons, whose structures exist at a balance point between chaos and order. It is sometimes discussed in the context of self organizing holarchic open systems or, SOHO systems. A holon is maintained by the throughput of matterenergy and informationentropy connected to other holons and is simultaneously a whole in itself and at the same time is nested within another holon and so is a part of something much larger than itself. Holons range in size from the smallest subatomic particles and strings, all the way up to the multiverse, comprising many universes. Individual humans, their societies and their cultures are intermediate level holons, created by the interaction of forces working upon us both top down and bottom up. On a non physical level, words, ideas, sounds, emotionseverything that can be identifiedis simultaneously part of something, and can be viewed as having parts of its own, similar to sign in regard of semiotics. In 2. 01. 3 Australian academic JT Velikovsky proposed the holon as the structure of the meme, the unit of culture,3 synthesizing the major theories on memes of Richard Dawkins, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, E. O. Wilson, Frederick Turner and Arthur Koestler. Defined in this way, holons are related to the concept of autopoiesis, especially as it was developed in the application of Stafford Beer to second order cybernetics and the viable system model, but also Niklas Luhmann in his social systems theory. Since a holon is embedded in larger wholes, it is influenced by and influences these larger wholes. And since a holon also contains subsystems, or parts, it is similarly influenced by and influences these parts. Information flows bidirectionally between smaller and larger systems as well as rhizomatic contagion. When this bidirectionality of information flow and understanding of role is compromised, for whatever reason, the system begins to break down wholes no longer recognize their dependence on their subsidiary parts, and parts no longer recognize the organizing authority of the wholes. Cancer may be understood as such a breakdown in the biological realm. A hierarchy of holons is called a holarchy. The holarchic model can be seen as an attempt to modify and modernise perceptions of natural hierarchy. Ken Wilber comments that the test of holon hierarchy holarchy is that if all instances of a given type of holon cease to exist, then all the holons they were part of must cease to exist too. Thus an atom is of a lower standing in the hierarchy than a molecule, because if you removed all molecules, atoms could still exist, whereas if you removed all atoms, molecules, in a strict sense would cease to exist. Wilbers concept is known as the doctrine of the fundamental and the significant. A hydrogen atom is more fundamental than an ant, but an ant is more significant. The doctrine of the fundamental and the significant is contrasted by the radicalrhizome oriented pragmatics of Deleuze and Guattari, and other continental philosophy. A significant feature of Koestlers concept of holarchy is that it is open ended both in the macrocosmic as well as in the microcosmic dimensions. This aspect of his theory has several important implications. For example, if we take string theory to be legitimate, the holarchic system does not begin with strings or end with the multiverse. Those are just the present limits of the reach of the human mind in the two dimensions. Humans will cross those limits eventually, because they do not encompass the whole of reality. Karl Popper Objective Knowledge, 1. In other words, the human quest for knowledge is an unending journey with innumerable grand sights ahead but with no possibility of reaching the journeys end. The work of modern physicists designed to discover the theory of everything TOE is reaching deep into the microcosm under the assumption that the macrocosm is eventually made of the microcosm. This approach falls short on two counts the first is that the fundamental is not the same as significant and the second is that this approach does not take into account that the microcosmic dimension is open ended. It follows that the search for TOE will discover phenomena more microcosmic than strings or the more comprehensive M theory. It is also the case that many laws of nature that apply to systems relatively low in the hierarchy cease to apply at higher levels. M theory might have predictive power at the sub atomic level but it will inform but little about reality at higher levels. The work of the particle physicists is indeed laudable but possibly they should give the theory they are looking for another name. This is not to claim that the concept of holarchy is already the theory of everything. Individual holoneditAn individual holon possesses a dominant monad that is, it possesses a definable I ness.

Its funny how one thing leads to another. The item below about PSYOPS had a connection with recent wonderful images sent to me by Tom Singfield. The photographs were taken by John Bessette. While I was cleaning up the scan, I noticed white stuff plastered over the leading edge of the tailplane, around the step and tail wheel.

January 2. 01. 6I have three days free to work on the websites, and to try and get some of my photographs organised. Multiple external hard drives, and numerous CDs do not make the process easy Well see just how well that works out. Anthony Aird is working on a logo for DHC 3archive. Graphic Artist comes up with. Im very happy with the progress so far I want to have something that the rivet counters will accept, but something not too detailed January 2. Fixed it. Lost it again. Fixed it again. A bit bigger now if you have noticed January 2. Well, the village idiot thoroughly messed up the Current Home Page. I was mucking about with new software, and should have known better than to do that. Weighing my options now, a work around, whatever. So keep your fingers crossed for me, I hope I dont have to switch to dreamweaver and start my learning curve again. I think I can load this page however January 2.
