Interaction, Change, and Wholeness of Material Things
Abstract
Description
Interaction is the mode of being of material things amid other material things and the driving force of change and wholeness. Through mutual influence, changes of interacting things become interdependent and their properties interrelated, which leads to formation of ensembles - material wholes of correlated things, where the mode of being of a particular component depends on the modes of being of all other components and vice versa. Every ensemble attains its wholeness and becomes a physical body through togetherness of interrelated components coexisting as a collective being with mutually restrained internal motion. Properties of ensembles on all structural levels of matter composition emerge through the collective being of components.
