How Related

Naming the whole system as a Whole System brings that factor as a unifying common ground for the system's disparate parts, many of which still see themselves as separate. -- Tom

Usually the parts of the Whole System arrive in the Room with energies, gifts, conflicts, etc. that help it or interfere with it being (or becoming) more whole.  Best to be aware of these.  See also Group Culture. -- Tom

You won't get WSR unless you have a really good invitation.  --Tree
Getting the whole system in the room generally involves an excellent Invitation. -- wiki

Getting the Whole System in the Room requires planning and effort because so many factors serve to impede that.  It seldom happens by itself.  -- Tom

The Subgroups of the Whole System have their own functional and transformational needs and energies.  Encouraging and enabling them to work on those -- in league with other Subgroups -- allows the system to become its new whole. -- Tom
Sometimes you want the whole system in a subgroup. -- wiki

When the parts see themselves as part of a Whole System, the other parts of which are also present in the Room, there is a valuable shift on consciousness away from alienated silos towards functional relationships. -- Tom ... You will have all these different viewpoints in the room, so the Viewpoint Shift pattern will help you work more effectively in the room and have more Viewpoint Shift in the encounter. -- Tree
