A whole is defined by the pattern of relations between its parts, not by the sum of its parts; and a civilization is not defined by the sum of its science, technology, art and social organization, but by the total pattern which they form, and the degree of harmonious integration in that pattern.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This consolidation really started in the mid-1990s but picked up speed and is still continuing.
