You have probably already experienced this theory - you'll have observed things that are part of this and you're definitely part of this theory as it's about the how the layers of our experience and understanding fit together.

In order to explain the theory I've broken it down into steps that are hopefully manageable. If you don't agree on this, please get in touch with me and let me know your thoughts!

The foundations

• What is a fractal?
• What is Emergence?
• What is Holism?
• What are the spatial dimensions?
• What are the semantic dimensions?

Gestalt theory, particularly the concept of Holism, suggests that the human mind perceives patterns and wholes rather than simply a collection of parts. The core idea is that when elements are combined, they form a meaningful structure that cannot be fully understood by analyzing the individual components alone. This phenomenon reflects the belief that the whole experience, whether it’s a visual scene, a musical composition, or social interaction, is more than just the sum of its parts. For example, when looking at a picture, the image as a whole conveys a message or feeling that individual colors and shapes on their own cannot express.
