Reductionism, will it ever end?

Intuitively, I'd answer this question with a resounding, "No!," if I were ever asked it....But, do I live as though that were true?

Everything is made up of other things. A car is made up of many complicated parts. These parts are made up of other parts, and so forth. We know this instinctively, yet if someone had a tire, they certainly wouldn't claim to have a fraction of a car. A leg doesn't constitute a fraction of a person, does it?

Such is a synergistic intangibility. If you have 8 pairs of identical socks, and then you throw half of the pairs away, you have 4 pairs. Throw half of the socks away again and you have 2 pairs. Throw half away again and you are left with 1 pair. Throw half of the pairs away and you have zero pairs, not one half of the pairs. Although naturally, Zeno's paradox is correct and nature appears continuous, our unnatural vocabulary prerequisite to conceptualize the world around us is discreet.
