Parts find their neighbors. Networks form where none were planned.
Separate functions merge into coherent systems. The whole exceeds the sum.
Living systems sense and respond. Structure follows function follows need.
Resilience emerges from redundancy. Every node supports the network.
What works persists. What doesn't dissolves. The system refines itself.
From simple rules, complex beauty. Holos: the irreducible whole.
The whole is not assembled. It emerges.
