The body is a synergic system

All body parts are interrelated in a synergic system—hands, feet, arms, aren't juxtaposed in a coordinate space but bounded in a frontier of interrelations: sights can be heard, sounds can be seen, motor abilities can pass from one limb to another.

Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1962).
