In Buddhism we have dependent origination : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prat%C4%ABtyasamutp%C4%81da

Also the concept of implicate order, proposed by the theoretical physicist David Bohm.

> Bohm employed the hologram as a means of characterising implicate order, noting that each region of a photographic plate in which a hologram is observable contains within it the whole three-dimensional image, which can be viewed from a range of perspectives.

> That is, each region contains a whole and undivided image.

> "There is the germ of a new notion of order here. This order is not to be understood solely in terms of a regular arrangement of objects (e.g., in rows) or as a regular arrangement of events (e.g., in a series). Rather, a total order is contained, in some implicit sense, in each region of space and time."

> "Now, the word 'implicit' is based on the verb 'to implicate'. This means 'to fold inward' ... so we may be led to explore the notion that in some sense each region contains a total structure 'enfolded' within it."
