Integrity is not an essence of an elemental part of a whole; nor is integrity an elemental part of a whole. Integrity is not some thing which is added to other things to compose some thing of integrity. Integrity has to do with the quality of relationships, more than with elemental things. Relationships participate in integrity when they have the character of bringing others together in harmonious ways which have survival value. Integrity may entail balanced tension among opposing forces; it does not entail disintegrative conflict which does violence to coherent relationships which are essential to the whole.
