- Familiar constituents make work possible, while their combination can introduce a difficulty absent from separate practice.
- Encompassing requirements constrain the parts; the parts’ actual capabilities limit what the whole can achieve.
- One action can serve several wholes, whose conditions can differ or conflict.

- The whole may be ongoing while only some of its constituents are active.
- A planned connection helps design work, but actual enactment needs the performed connection.
