Basically. The body isn't merely a group of cells. The body is a interconnection of cells that is not only more complex on the physical level, but also leads to the brain/mind.
Wilber differentiates between heaps and holons. A group of strangers standing around is a heap. A community of family, friends, and neighbors is a holon.

Or science(orange meme) and relativism(green meme) seem contradictory to many until they develop to second tier. |
I'm sorry ...remember you are dealing with an INTP here?????[/quote]
I realized when I posted it that no one else might know what I was talking about.
If you google Spiral Dynamics, holons/holarchy, and Ken Wilber, then you'll find more than enough data to feed your Ti's need for analysis. If you simply want to understand Spiral Dynamics, then check out Clare Graves original work or the later work of Chris Cowan or Don Beck. Clare Graves based his theories on research and its fairly complex.
All of that is on the web. But if it seems to difficult to find, I can link something.
