Independence and Inter-Dependability

Inter-Dependability is familiar in any team sport, and in any collective artistic performance, e. g. an orchestra. Independence is familiar in any individual sport, and in any solo artistic performance, e. g. a painter. Now, Inter-Dependability entails Dependence, since each member of the collective relies on every other. But, it does not entail Independence, which entails no relation with another. Nevertheless, for contemporary 'individualists', the ideal 'society' is an assembly of solo performers, with respect to each of which Inter-Dependability is an imposition.
