gestalt

noun: a configuration or pattern of elements so unified as a whole that it cannot be described merely as a sum of its parts.

Schauberger
[1] Motion-of-creation and creation-of-motion: These terms relate to the German expressions 'Gestaltungsbewegung' and 'Bewegungsgestaltung', which encompass 'Bewegung' meaning 'motion' and the German concept of 'Gestalt' or 'Gestaltung', an expression that in English cannot be translated with a single word. The Collins English Dictionary defines 'Gestalt' as "a pattern or structure possessing qualities as a whole that cannot be described merely as a sum of its parts." As such it can also apply to physical, energetic and spiritual forms, matrices and structures. 'Motion-of-creation' and 'creation-of-motion' could therefore also be respectively interpreted as 'form (or structure) - creating motion' and 'motion-creating form (or structure)'. — Ed.
