Does the individual supersede the community or does the community

How would one supersede the other and, if it is so, why can't you tell which one?

All things outreach each other, while having some general implacable consistency in themeselves for periodic stretches at our timescale.

A community is an entity with an uncanny logic for maintaining itself within certain perimeters. So, at some point, is a person. The negotiation of the two is a dance, and might be symbiotic, or might be at odds. But they'll always be a mystery to each other.

None can supplant the other completely; Can you build a house made of wood without carving the wood at all? Did not the house really change through many iterations in this process?

There is no nature vs nurture debate in the statistical study of complex systems. Everything works in retroactive feedbacks: the community modifies every individual by imposing ambient noise, and this noise is in turn modified by the average motion of the individuals, which then is fed back to the individuals themselves, and so on and so on. What you call the community is not a thing in itself but rather the emergent effect of the aggregation of individuals. Not superseding the individual but *surrounding* and *emerging* from it, and therefore also not exclusive to the individual.
