As suggested by the well-known gestalt concept the immune system can be regarded as an integrated complex system, the functioning of which cannot be fully characterized by the behavior of its constituent elements. Similar approaches to the immune system in particular and sensory systems in general allows one to discern similarities and differences in the process of distinguishing informative patterns in an otherwise random background, thus initiating an appropriate and adequate response. This may lead to a new interpretation of difficulties in the comprehension of some immunological phenomena.
正如著名的格式塔概念所表明的那样，免疫系统可被视为一个整合的复杂系统，其功能不能完全由其组成元素的行为来表征。特别是对免疫系统以及一般意义上的感觉系统采用类似的方法，能使人们在区分原本随机背景中的信息模式的过程中辨别异同，从而引发适当且充分的反应。这可能会对理解某些免疫现象时遇到的困难产生新的解释。
