Experience, Atomism, Holism

Foundations of Atomist systems are usually experiences isolated from other experiences, e. g. a Sense-Datum, a Thought, etc.  In contrast, Whitehead's variation of Leibniz' system shows how those apparent Atoms are abstracted from Holist concantenation.  For, rather, each new experience is one's modification of the hitherto entire universe, which includes both one's own past actions and those of everybody else.  On that basis, human  society is a Network of interdependent, or, better, inter-independent, since active members.  A Person and/or a Person-Soul can then be defined in terms of one's ongoing history of actions, and a Polis can be defined as a type of organization of the Network.  The two intersect in one's perspective of the Network, which is a Concrescence, to borrow Whitehead's term, of all the influences hitherto.  Accordingly, the Person-Soul is both a Part of the Whole and independent of the rest of it.  So, an Atomist Atom of Experience is abstracted from the social Network of which it is originally a component.   Likewise, Leibniz detaches the cognitive phase of a novel experience from its function as a prelude to the modification of the cognized given, leaving him with an image of the universe, which, as thus inert, he can relegate to Epiphenomenality.
