The presented work studies the state as a holistic object. It takes as determining for its behavior neither properties of elements, nor sums of them, but a new quality of properties existing only in a holistic object. These properties describe status of an object and its heading. This is an analogy with a living organism. Connected with holistic properties are holistic functions, existing not on a level of elements and realizing intended goals of an object. A division of functions happens in the object, where one part solves interest of elements and the second one the interest of the object as whole - of the new quality. Structure of the state is discussed on basis of knowledge of analogical structures. At the same time an instrument for its objective monitoring and control is submitted - a structural model of events.
