The clockwork mechanism is a perfect example of the
parts of the system, i.e. the whole. If only the segment

measuring seconds is used, only that segment will work
well but not the clock as a whole, its hands, pendulum or

alarm. Yet, for the whole mechanism to work well all its

parts should be synchronized and precise. The same goes
for the banks and corporations today. They may work fine

now, but they may not be aware that soon they will ruin
the whole and this will inevitably affect their own work. In

light of dialectical realism, some knowledge of mechanics
could be used here. In order for them to work in harmony

as a whole, all the elements of the social relations within a

system must be in sync.

To make this point clear, a list is given, consisting of

several moments that follow one another to form the basis
of the solution.
