holon

Definition

holon rate
(Noun) Nodes on a hierarchic tree that behave partly as wholes or wholly as parts, according to the way you look at them.
Usage: "Yet nature is such that every holon within every holarchy has enough self-interest to make it work at preserving its own life as long as possible, whether it is an individual cell, a creature, or a whole species or ecosystem." (Elisabet Sahtouris, EARTHDANCE (1999).
