It refers to the capacity of a system's parts to fully comprehend and understand the whole system. In a holoptic state, every part or member of a system has a clear and comprehensive understanding of the system's entire structure, function, and the roles of its other parts or members. This concept is often applied in organizational theory and team dynamics, where it represents a state of shared understanding and collective intelligence. **Related** - [From the Myth of _Self-Government_ to the Rise of _Holoptism_: Another Genealogy of Liberal Governmentality](https://academic.oup.com/ips/article-abstract/16/3/olac011/6650686?login=false) - [How do Co-agents Actively Regulate their Collective Behavior States?](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5095589/)
