The phrase "a complex whole of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used to describe something that is made up of various interconnected parts that together form a complete entity.
Example: "The ecosystem is a complex whole of various species, climates, and geographical features that interact with one another."
Alternatives: "an intricate system of" or "a multifaceted composition of".
A simple sentence, such as "Theaetetus sits"., though simple as a sentence, is still a complex whole consisting of words of different kinds a name (onoma) and a verb (rhema)—having different functions.
Nonetheless, attempts have been made even in such cases to show how the intrinsic value of a complex whole is to be computed in a nonsummative way in terms of the basic intrinsic values of simpler states, thus preserving the idea that basic intrinsic value is the key to the computation of all intrinsic value (Quinn 1974, Chisholm 1975, Oldfield 1977, Carlson 1997).
"Abstraction is distinguished from analysis in that the former singles out one fact and disregards the others, whereas the latter seeks to apprehend the majority of the facts that make up the factors of a complex whole" (Dilthey 1989, 433).
If one were to take population as the point of departure, it would be a very vague notion of a complex whole and through closer definition one would arrive analytically at increasingly simple concepts; from imaginary concrete terms one would move to more and more tenuous abstractions until one reached the simplest definitions.
As we wind down our journey through deep time, perhaps it is fitting that our previous five chapters carry with them five lessons: Nature is a tinkerer, not an engineer natural selection can only operate on existing variation leading to the gradual refinement of parts (i.e., RNA diversity, the origin of DNA, ATPase, etc)., not the sudden emergence of a complex whole.
Yes, there are some extended and fascinating reflections here on the difficulties of translating poetry -- and few poems are as difficult to comprehend, let alone translate, as the "Duino Elegies," Rilke's great masterwork and the focus of Gass's energies here -- but that's just one part of a complex whole.
(PL, §64/ WLM, 77-8) {§5.6} judgement is the differentiation of a complex whole, and hence always is analysis and synthesis in one.
Third, Tuomela does not view we-intentions and other elements of his account as independent building blocks but only as analytically isolated parts of a complex whole (cf. Tuomela 2007: 125 6); once again, the guiding idea is not to track the composition of collectivity from basic and independent elements, but to elucidate what collectivity consists in.
Hence, integration of BIM into the process allows students to simulate the "complex whole" of a proposed building.
A story about human origins is a relatively complex whole, including a number of beliefs.
