Reductionism may also entail treating the whole of some reality as a version of the whole which is not an open and honest acknowledgment of the whole of the reality. In the first of the above instances the integrity of a reality may be violated by: (1) Insisting on dealing with the reality only in terms of its parts; (2) Being selective as to which parts of the whole to take into considerations, and which to ignore; (3) Being selective as to which relationships among parts to consider, and which to ignore; (4) Ignoring ways in which the whole of the reality in is inseparable from its environment---and insisting on viewing it only in terms of its internal structures. In the second of the above instances the integrity of the reality may be violated by reducing it to a version of the whole which: (1) Meets the reductionists' needs to ignore the original whole, (2) Can be seen through a filter which conceals and/or obscures essential aspects of the original whole, (3) Is not in tune with the environment in the same way as the original was.
