I like that you say "The whole is more than its parts". I also like the concept that the part is influenced by the whole. In the case of our brain, it may be quantum entanglement when neurons become interconnected in such a way that the state of one neuron influences the state of another, even when they are separated. This can happen locally, in the brain, or over vast distances. Quantum coherence allows for the overlapping of local mechanical behaviors with wholistic ones. Ubuntu. Thanks. Geoff
Oh, definintely. The brain is a great example of this, and not only at a quantum level. The general (weak) electrical field generated by brain activity affects interactions between neurons as well. It's feedback loops all the way down :).
