This text explores the ontological nature of wholes, distinguishing between true wholes, mere heaps, and specific structures described as societies or communities of wholes. The central thesis posits that wholeness is not an exclusive property of individual organisms, such as trees or animals, but is also fundamental to broader ecosystems like forests or meadows. These entities cannot be classified as true wholes in the strict sense, yet they are more than a random accumulation of elements. The author emphasizes the dynamic nature of these structures, defining them as biotopes with boundaries that fluctuate over time. Although they do not constitute events in a strict sense, they exhibit a form of happening that transcends mere mechanical motion, such as that of an avalanche or flowing water. The text suggests a need for refined terminology to capture this reality that lies between an individual whole and a simple heap, rejecting the reduction of such complex systems to mere appearances or pseudo-events.
