“General Systems Theory, a related modern concept [to holism], says that each variable in any system interacts with the other variables so thoroughly that cause and effect cannot be separated. A simple variable can be both cause and effect. Reality will not be still. And it cannot be taken apart! You cannot understand a cell, a rat, a brain structure, a family, a culture if you isolate it from its context. Relationship is everything.” IfsStillsRealityCultureCausesSimpleBrainTakenModernEffectsTheoryConceptsStructureCellsRelatedRatsCause And EffectVariablesHolismSystems Theory Author:Marilyn Ferguson
