macrocosms
Systems encompassing everything
Macrocosms is the plural of macrocosm, which means a large-scale system viewed as a whole—the universe, the world, or any complex structure seen in its entirety.
The term contrasts with microcosm, the small-scale version: The philosopher saw human society as a macrocosm reflecting the order of individual souls.
Medieval thinkers believed the macrocosm of the universe mirrored the microcosm of the human body.
