Well, take for exmple the human body. There are the legs, the arms, the torso, the neck, the head, and all of the internal organs. Separately, those things don't do extraordinary work. The two legs don't walk, etc. But when they are all interconnected with the brain, the human as a whole is more than the sum or the parts. We have personalities, senses of humor, etc. in addition to being moving beings with digestive systems, etc. We are more than the sum of our parts.
