'both reduction and complexity'

'With phenomena, we “break them down” and “take them as wholes or a whole”:  parts and wholes.
 
We may incorporate both reduction and complexity: reduction including differentiation of “objects”, and complexity including system(s).
 
We have means of observing, interacting, engaging, and negotiating phenomena: “objects”, events – of classifying, taxonomizing, and of ordering.'
