Anyone thinking wholes and parts are ontic categories is either a fraudester or a stupid philosopher (i.e. doubly fraudster). There is no such ontic categories. You construct new wholes to reveal the underlying fragments, you glue the fragments to uncover new wholes ad infinitum.

Most people don't get it, but this (or similar to it, but framed in a different way) is the point of Wittgenstein's Tractatus.

Replying to @res1anz
I think it has a much deeper root. It can be traced back to Plato's Parmenides and perhaps even further. But yes, it's def. framed by Wittgenstein much more clearly.
