  Gestalt Summary
Gestalt is the German term for "pattern" or "shape," meaning the configuration of patterned relationships of parts to the whole.
Gestalt concepts have been used, in biology, in many other ways beyond psychological studies of primate behavior, studies that have tried to better understand the behavior of monkeys, apes and humans.
Other studies have sought gestalt patterns through experiments that tested whether or not there is a substantial gestalt component to colony odor among one species of ants, and through explorations of the role of the postpharyngeal gland in another ant species as a gestalt organ for recognition of nestmates.

  Gestalt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gestalt was also the name of an environment-query function in Mac OS.
Gestalt is also a term used in Dungeons and Dragons to represent a warrior/arcane mage multiclass combination or character concept, although the term can be more generally used to describe when the features of two or more classes are combined to create a 'mixed' class at first level (also known as taking apprentice levels).
Nonetheless the different people that formed the gestalt could be changed for another person with similar characteristics (for example: a person that performed as a "head" could be exchanged for another person as long as he was able to be a "head" and was accepted in the gestalt).
