 ===== Description =====
-The //mereological fallacy// is closely related to the logical fallacies listed here under "[[logic:emergence:index|fallacies of emergence]]" as well as the [[logic:induction:ecological_fallacy|ecological fallacy]] from [[mathematics:statistics:index|statistics]], insofar as all of these involve the improper transfer of properties between the whole and its parts.
+The //mereological fallacy// is closely related to the logical fallacies listed here under "[[logic:emergence:index|fallacies of emergence]]" as well as the [[knowledge:ecological_fallacy|ecological fallacy]] from [[mathematics:statistics:index|statistics]], insofar as all of these involve the improper transfer of properties between the whole and its parts.
 The difference is that this fallacy involves a misattribution of properties of a specific component within a system with those of the system as a whole, whereas the //fallacies of emergence// do not require this //systemic// aspect. The //ecological fallacy//, on the other hand, is specifically about //statistical// data which is interpreted at a wrong level of aggregation.
