“A ‘system’ is an entity that maintains its existence and functions as a whole through the interaction of its parts. The behavior of a system depends on the total structure." - Gertrude Foley SC

Gertrude Foley SC reminds us: “A ‘system’ is an entity that maintains its existence and functions as  a whole through the interaction of its parts. The behavior of a system depends on the total structure."

I came across this while researching the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. I knew the church would 'get it' first, if not even before I 'got it'.

Yes, that is an endorsement of balancing whole and part, female and male, as proposed by the HESUS JOY CHRIST animation, and book Hesus Joy Christ : Discussion of the Animation​ .
