Re: The members of a set are...?

William Elliot schrieb:

A flower arrangement is not a set of flowers.
A war is not a set of battles.
A machine is not a set of parts.
A school is not a set of students.
A family is not a set of people.

The whole is more than the set of its parts.

And sometimes the whole has another orientation than its parts.

The car is moving forward whereas its wheels are turning around.
A cheese is tasty whereas its holes dont taste at all.
