- Formal linguistic principle: meaning of a whole depends only on meanings of parts and how they are fitted together (bottom-up meaning flow).
- Central concept: how meaning of wholes depends on meanings of parts and their structural arrangement; multiple formulations explored (Frege, Schrödinger, Whitehead, LEGO).
