  Holon (philosophy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A holon refers to a system (or phenomenon) that is a whole in itself as well as a part of a larger system.
Since a holon is embedded in larger wholes, it is influenced by and influences these larger wholes.
Ken Wilber comments that the test of holon hierarchy is that if you were to remove a type of entity from existence, then all other entities of which it formed a part must of necessity cease to exist too.

 Holon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holon (Standard Hebrew חוֹלוֹן, Ḥolon, Tiberian Hebrew חֹלֹן Ḥōlōn) is a city in Israel, on the central coastal strip, just south of Tel Aviv, and part of the metropolex known as Gush Dan in the Tel Aviv District.
Holon has the second biggest industrial zone in Israel after Haifa.
Mayors of Holon since its proclamation as a city in 1950 are:

 Holons, Heaps and Artifacts, by Fred Kofman
If one confuses holons, heaps and artifacts, one might start building (incorrect) "holarchies" going from brick to wall to room to apartment to building, simply because a brick is part of a wall, a wall is part of a room, a room is part of an apartment and an apartment is part of a building.
In a strict "holonic" sense, he will not be a "member" of the green socio-cultural holon, manifested in the exterior collective dimension as the "team" to which he belongs in the administrative sense.
Now, the individual holons or checkers on level 1 (the beige meme) depend for their existence on intricate networks of interrelationships with all the other beige checkers in their environment—depend, that is, on networks of their own social holons (the co evolution of micro and macro).

 Talk:Holon - Integral Wiki
Because each holon is also a superholon, then when it is erased—when it undergoes self-dissolution into its subholons—it tends to follow the same path down as its subholons followed up: cells break down into molecules, which break down into atoms, which break into particles.
A holon functions not only as a self-preserving whole but also as a part of a larger whole, and in its capacity as a part it must adapt or accommodate itself to other holons (not autopoiesis but allopoiesis; not assimilation but accommodation).
The emergent holons are in some sense novel; they posses properties and qualities that cannot be strictly and totally deduced from their components; and therefore they, and their descriptions, cannot be reduced without remainder to their component parts.

 Holon - Integral Wiki
Holons are always embedded within other holons, ascending or descending.
Also, the body is also part of a deeper holon and cells contain holons (molecules to atoms to nuclear particles etc.) Wherever you start in the holonic sequence, holons go all the way up and all the way down.
Ontological holism is the view that being is composed of holons.

 Holon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
A holon is a node in the tree structure.
The key characteristics of a holon include that it asserts its individuality in order to maintain the set order in the tree structure, but it also submits to the demands of the whole tree structure (the system) in order to make the system viable.
The holon has a "self-assertiveness tendency" (wholeness) as well as an "integrative tendency" (part).This duality is similar to the particle/wave duality of light.

 HOLONS, TRANSVERSALS and NARRATING
Holon Tenet One - For Wilber (1996a: 20) "Tenet number 1 is that reality is composed of whole/parts or 'holons'." Wilber argues "… if you start to look closely at the things and processes that actually exist, it soon becomes obvious that they are not merely wholes, they are also parts of something else.
The holon implications are that in narrating, the narrator is situating his or her story in contxts of shared language, common social practices, shared beliefs, and traditions that are given historical meaning.
The narrator is creating holons of amalgamated selves and scoial scenes, interweaving a plethera of conflicting beliefs, and crossing between intersubjectivities and disparate contexts.

The molecule that is also part of a cell is a holon, as is the cell that is part of an organ, and so on.
This hierarchy of relationships from the atom to the organism is known as a holarchy.
The concepts of holon and holarchy are fundamental to understanding the healthy function of complex living systems, which requires that each of their whole-parts maintain its own identity and boundaries even as it functions as part of the larger whole."

 A New Theory of Holons, (Through AQAL Eyes — Part 4), Mark Edwards
While the basics of the holon construct seem to be straightforward enough, it's clear to me that there are serious misunderstandings and inconsistencies in the way elemental aspects of holon theory are applied and interpreted.
The third version of Wilber concept of holons is his labelling of the quadrants as subjective or "I," objective or "it," intersubjective or "we," and interobjective or "its".
When Wilber plugs separate holons all over the AQAL quadrants he runs the risk of reinforcing the reductionist idea that, for example, thoughts are separate from behaviours which are separate from values which are separate from social actions.

 HolonWiki - WhatIsAHolon
The term 'Holon' was coined by the hungarian author ArthurKoestler in his book "The ghost in the machine" (1967).
Holons, in the sense of Koestler, are essential in hierarchical systems with intelligent performance.
According Koestler a holon is a self-similar or fractal structure that is stable, coherent and that consists of several holons as sub-structures and is itself a part of a greater whole.

 Holon
Holons have a tendency towards self-assertiveness and self-reliance.
Advantage of organising holons: complex systems can be formed that are efficient in the use of resources, highly resilient to disturbances (both internal and external), and adaptable to changes in their environment.
Holons can receive instruction from and, to a certain extent, be controlled by higher level holons.

 Holon : Holy Scripture or Quantum Systems Theory
Holon is a combination of the Greek word 'holos', meaning whole, and the suffix 'on' meaning particle or part.
A holon, as Koestler devised the term, is an identifiable part of a system that has a unique identity, yet is made up of sub-ordinate parts and in turn is part of a larger whole.
The strength of holonic organization, or holarchy, is that it enables the construction of very complex systems that are nonetheless efficient in the use of resources, highly resilient to disturbances (both internal and external), and adaptable to changes in the environment in which they exist.

 Ken Wilber Online: Excerpt C - The Ways We Are in This Together
Here, the agency of one holon (such as a molecule) is subsumed in and by the agency of the higher holon (such as the cell), so that each larger whole in this sequence means that one agency (or holon) becomes a sub-agency (or subholon) of a larger whole.
All holons, including interior holons, are functional wholes, which means that they have ways to register the integrity of their wholeness, or their self boundaries, or the interface where inside and outside touch each other.
Each holon has the equivalent of an "immune system," which is part of its capacity to endure and continue in spacetime--aspects of its kosmic habits that allow the holon to persist, and without which it would quickly decease.

 The creation of holons   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Till we introduced this concept the holons were a type of abstraction which explained a hierarchic interconnectivity.
In 1967 Arthur Koestler described the Holon - still an abstration - as a "self-assertiveness tendency" (wholeness) as well as an "integrative tendency"(part).
But form now on we have an infolding gravity mechanism to explain a holon, and a concept that proves the complete interconnectivity in our Universe, and thus also between humans and all aspects of nature.

 WHO'S CONSCIOUS
In my model, in contrast, social holons are higher than their members, though not to the same degree that an individual holon on one level of existence is higher than that on another level.
The agency of the 'social holon' is its cohesive structure which puts a preventative counter pressure on the developing individual: the communality of the social holon is its openness to other cultures (in human terms, from inter-tribal mixes to the culturally complex nation state and now global culture).
The individual holons are those that are found on the lowest stage of any level of existence, in my one-scale model of holarchy, and the societies are the least developed forms of social organization on that level.

Actually, individual and social holons are not different entities, but different aspects of all holons, since all holons have an interior and an exterior in singular and plural forms (the four quadrants), but they are indeed different aspects that cannot be merely equated.
That is, the regime of the senior holon supervenes the regime of the junior.
Individual holons emerge or come into being with a development that is envelopment (higher holons emerge, via eros, and then reach down and embrace their juniors, via agape--they transcend and include in a rather literal sense, just as molecules transcend and include atoms).

 fUSION Anomaly. Arthur Koestler
These sub-wholes - or "holons", as I have proposed to call them - are Janus-faced entities which display both the independent properties of wholes and the dependent properties of parts.
Each holon must preserve and assert its autonomy, other wise the organism would lose its articulation and dissolve into an amorphous mass - but at the same time the holon must remain subordinate to the demands of the (existing or evolving) whole.
Every sub-system is a relatively autonomous organism while also being a component of a larger organism; it is a "holon," in Arthur Koestler's term, manifesting both the independent properties of wholes and the dependent properties of parts.

A 'holon', in Arthur koestlers discussions, is something that has integrity and identity at the same time as it is a part of a larger system, it is a subsystem of the larger system.
"A holon, according to Koestler is a model-component with a "Janus-face" - one side looking "down" and acting as an autonomous system giving directions to "lower" components and the other side looking "up" and serving as a part of a "higher" holon."

The 4Q is a conceptual representation of the fundamental dimensions of “holons[2].” Holon is a term coined by a Hungarian philosopher named Arthur Koestler.
In Integral theory, holons and holarchy (hierarchy of holons) are used as conceptual representations of “reality”—Kosmos (the physical Cosmos + interiors).
One of the main tenets[8] of Integral theory is that holons have four fundamental capacities, or drives: self-preservation (agency), self-adaptation (communion), self-transcendence, and self-dissolution.
