RE: Four tasks in three hours...
The honey bee has in mind to filling its hexagonal footage boxes.
So am I - structuring my world with schemes and organizing it into pieces. Or vice versa. ;-)

the eternal question... from the whole to the components or from parts to the whole :)
Analysis-synthesis-analysis-synthesis...decay... :-))

This may be the idea, but I think much to often the reality is:
From component parts to component parts with a mind by far to small to get the whole...

I think that the adherents of oriental medicine will be against it))
So may it be.
(Some people and more than zero philosophies / religions assure you to catch the whole with them.)
[edit]
More elaborated:
I know for sure that I do not see the whole.
I can assume for granted that my mind is not able to grasp the whole.
The conclusion is that I cannot know from (structural) components and not from (essential) parts of these.
So, I have to deal with the educated guess that I only see some fragments.
In respect to mathematics, I dare to go one step ahead and look on the given mathematical knowledge (without knowing it in broadness and details) as the truthful basics of this science.
In respect to physics and chemistry, I fear not to be allowed to such an optimistic view since I cannot prove the reliability of the concepts of space, time, matter and energy (as far as I understand them). Maybe these are biased or at least essentially narrowed by the structure of my mind.
In respect to biology, I am poor enough not being able to formulate a stable concept of life. Thus, I am not equipped to reach psychology, social sciences and an ongoing research project regarding mind and spirit. I am just one of some more very young kids in the universe.
Speaking about Oriental medicine, I meant first of all their holistic approach to diseases. They are not aimed at treating a specific disease or organ. They view a person as a whole. In other words, we can conditionally assume that they are moving from the whole to the particular.
Traditional European medicine pays a lot of attention to symptoms, individual organs and systems. They study people by their corpses. But a living person is not only his living organism. I think you know what I mean.
Yes, I completely agree with your reasoning. The trouble is that to study the world, we use only the capabilities of the intellect, the mind. I dare to assume that these possibilities are limited initially. "...my mind is not able to grasp the whole." "you're damn right.
On the scale of the universe, we are not even grains of sand))
