== Iterations and Refinements ==

One round trip from the whole to its parts and back is probably not enough to generate complex self-organizing systems with emergent phenomena. If the two-way method of “synthetic microanalysis” works at all, you will certainly need some iterations and a number of stepwise refinements until the method converges to a suitable solution.

It is important to identify and refine before each iteration suitable subsystems, basic compounds and essential phenomena on the macroscopic level, which are big and frequent enough to be typical or characteristic of the system, but small and regular enough to be explained well by a set of microscopic processes. Many macroscopic descriptions are only an approximation, idealization and simplification of real processes.
