Replying to LO20532 --

Dear Friends:

Reference the previous note.

Here are some principles and lessons learned to form an understanding
around. Or do I over simplify?

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Each part, by its presence or absence, has an effect on the whole.

There is no such thing as an non-interfering observation.

Observing the whole and its parts may influence significantly their
interact.

>To make sure that I have understand this essentiality, I like to
>translate your contribution in my words. I hope you don't mind, but this
>is the best check of understanding.
