    I would have thought atomistic – consideration of the individual small parts of a system rather than the whole.

    But anyone that uses the word holistic can be safely ignored anyway IMHO 😉

    In some cases reductionist may work too… depends on the usage really. For example you could say “we decided to take a holistic approach to X in contrast to <that other lot that wrote the previous paper> who took a very reductionist view in our opinion”.

    Holistic = dealing with the whole
    Specific = dealing with some particular bit
