I am presenting for discussion an essay "THE SIMPLICITY OF THE COMPLEX SYSTEMS" in which I am criticizing the evidences supporting Holistic paradigm and present a hypothesis about emergence of Life.
Abstract:
In this essay, the widely accepted paradigm that "The Whole is more than the sum of its parts" is criticized. It is also argued that no system properties emerge, but a cumulative effect and interaction in the system just reveals the part’s hidden properties that cause a perception of Emergence phenomena. A system acts as a “litmus paper” and a “magnifying glass” that just reveal the element’s properties not observable otherwise.
To explain the living system phenomenon, it is proposed that Consciousness is a fundamental property of MATTER. According to this hypothesis, Consciousness property is not observable in the non-living equilibrium systems. However if a system steered far enough from an equilibrium and passed the critical point, a non-equilibrium system will emerge that may reveal the property that wasn’t recognized in their elements. This property we call - LIFE.
