It's from Gestalt psychology which is based on the premise that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
To my knowledge it comes from the new science of systems, General Systems Theory and infers that one cannot know the whole through the traditional science of reductionism, taking it apart, studying the parts and putting them back together again, thinking then you know the whole. The reason for this is one can only understand the parts in interaction, or as they term it dynamic interaction, for there seems always an emergent quality or qualities that arise from this dynamic interaction of the parts, which could never have been predicted by the study of the parts in isolation. Part to part, part to the whole and the whole to each of its parts. We might say we know the whole, when we know a working whole.
