Hybridization

Systems theory studies the behavior of a set of entities related amongst themselves and their surrounding environment. Interestingly, these entities, as a collective, can show behaviors which are unable to express as individuals. This links back to the Aristotelic concept of holism, by which the whole is more than the sum of its parts.

Similarly, complex entities emerge from different constituent parts of ourselves, which transcend their parts and lay far beyond the scope of limited social tags.
