Synergy has to do with obtaining a total greater than the sum of its parts, but this seems not to be a logical thing if we think just in terms a real numbers in which 1+1 = 2.

In fact in my book

Physics and the Principle of Synergy

today available in researchGate:

and published in Amazon in 1999, there is a proposal how the Principle of Synergy can be applied not only to the physical, but to other areas of human thought, and how based on the most beautiful equation of mathematics, I mean Euler’s relation, it is possible to obtain a sum greater that the sum of its part, so that mathematically Synergy can be represented.

A whole greater than the sum of its parts is a concept that has been considered metaphysical, but that most prolific mathematician of all times, in his work with infinite series in 1745, found that relationship that was described as the most beautiful relationship in mathematics in a 1998 competition held by Intelligencer, called Euler's relation. This relationship in fact includes all numbers: one, zero, the equals sign, but also the square root of minus one, as well as infinity, of course, since it is an infinite series. It is this concept the one then that permits to describe mathematical the concept of Synergy and that has permitted to deduce all fundamental equation of physics in a unified framework of reference:

* that of the pendulum a real harmonic oscillator

* that of the gravitational field including that of the planet mercury obtained by Einstein, but in this case obtained with a mathematical tool not so much complicated as was done with Tensor Analysis

* those of SR in another approach, in which linear moving is just a special case of the more general solution obtained with the BSU concept in which covariance is included as it is a consequence of the isomorphic property of Euler’s relation mentioned above and finally the

* Schrödinger’s wave equation

and most probably it will serve even for that new field of physics called Quantum Field Theory, as in fact it is a real harmonic oscillator, that vector in the complex plane, that remains invariant in spite of change, as Euler’s relation remains the same with those mathematical operations that represent change: integration and derivation.
