The connection of ingredients or elements, that when put together produce a complete effect that is considerably enhanced over the sum of the individual elements.

If you are a cake maker, which I am totally not, you will know that each ingredient is important into making the cake as a whole. Any individual ingredient missed out would make the cake tasteless, or at worst, inedible.

Let’s think about ourselves for a moment.

Even though each individual part is really important, they are easily replaced. Whereas the person as a whole cannot be replaced.
