organicity
State of being
Organicity refers to the quality of being organic—having the characteristics of a living organism or natural growth.
In aesthetics and criticism, it describes how parts of a work relate to the whole as organs relate to a body, each element necessary and interdependent: The novel's organicity makes cutting any chapter impossible.
In neurology and psychiatry, organicity indicates that symptoms have a physical cause in the brain rather than a psychological one.
