Yes, but the crucial question is: isolated from what? Isolation is realative, not absolute. If you put Schrodinger and his cat [1] (or Wigner and his friend) in a box, they are isolated from you but not from each other. (c.f. the Fruachinger-Renner paradox).

[1] This is intended as subtle ironic humor. Schrodinger actually hated cats, which is the reason he chose one to be the subject of his famous thought experiment.

Two bodies have simple, non-chaotic solutions.

Three+ bodies do not solve linearly. Thus reveal themselves as unsolvable probabilities and pattern structures across scales.

The individuals and environment exists co-dependently.
