<human>:  Why is it that a whole is greater than the sum of its parts?
<bot>: That’s a philosophical question. It’s hard to answer. I think that there are a number of ways to think about this. For example, I think that the parts of a whole are related to each other in a way that makes them more than the sum of their parts. In the case of the human body, it is composed of many different organs, each of which performs a function. Each of these functions is important to the functioning of the body as a whole.
