# Relational
"Relational" means focusing on how things connect to and depend on each other, rather than looking at them in isolation. For example, a relational approach to understanding a person considers their family, friends, work, and community—not just their individual traits. In everyday use, it emphasizes that meaning, value, and identity often come from relationships and interactions rather than existing completely on their own.
Whole-presence(metaphysics/ontology)
The idea that something can exist completely and fully in itself, without depending on its relationship to other things.
