Synergetic mathematics is always concerned with whole systems and not with parts. Parts are nonexistent independent of systems. I have to observe that this sheet of paper on which I am writing has substance, an insideness, and a continuous surface rounding at the paper's edges to become the other side of the paper on which I can also write. Experience begins with whole systems. We do not have parts until we have systems.
Systems are always four dimensional or more.
I next observe that the six toothpicks did give us a very satisfactory visual awareness of the tetrahedron without any faces. Therefore, the minimum description of our awareness recognition of such a minimum system's existence should not be a tetrahedron but a tetra-vertexion. The six induced, most economical interrelationship lines frame four windows through which we view nothingness, emptiness. We find then the topological law of systems is that the number of somethings plus the number of empty nothingness windows equals the number of system interrelationships plus two as a more accurate use of Euler's topological aspects. The four somethings defining systems are of necessity systems themselves not at the moment differentially tunable.
