The supporting argument conflates dynamical inseparability with mereological non-summation, but classical mereology permits wholes fully grounded in parts even under strong interaction.

Classical mereology(used in metaphysics and logic): The traditional philosophical theory about how parts combine to make wholes, based on the logical idea that parts are simpler building blocks.
Dynamical inseparability(used in philosophy of physics and metaphysics): A situation in physics where two things are so deeply connected through their interactions that you can't fully understand one without understanding the other—they're tangled together in how they behave.
Mereological non-summation(used in metaphysics and philosophy of composition): The idea that a whole thing is not just the sum of its parts—it has properties or features that don't exist when you look at the parts separately.
Strong interaction(used in physics and philosophy of physics): A situation where separate things influence each other so powerfully that their behavior and properties deeply depend on each other.
