Emergent System

An Emergent System is a complex system that expresses an emergent behavior (larger system patterns that arise through more basic system interactions).

Context:
- It can be a Fragile Emergent System to being an Anti-Fragile Emergent System.
- …
Example(s):
- A Hurricane demonstrates cyclical wind pattern behavior from the interaction of local winds.
- A Sand Dune demonstrates accumulation behavior from interactions between sand particles.
- A Starling Swarm demonstrates flocking behavior from groups of Starlings.
- A Conscious System demonstrates cognitive behavior from the connections within a neural network.
- …
Counter-Example(s):
- A Linear System does not exhibit behaviors outside of its individual components' properties.

- In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when a complex entity has properties or behaviors that its parts do not have on their own, and emerge only when they interact in a wider whole.
- Emergence plays a central role in theories of integrative levels and of complex systems. For instance, the phenomenon of life as studied in biology is an emergent property of chemistry.
- In philosophy, theories that emphasize emergent properties have been called emergentism.

- In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence is conceived as a process whereby larger entities, patterns, and regularities arise through interactions among smaller or simpler entities that themselves do not exhibit such properties. In philosophy, almost all accounts of emergence include a form of irreducibility (either epistemic or ontological) to the lower levels. ^[1] Also, emergence is central in theories of integrative levels and of complex systems. For instance, the phenomenon life as studied in biology is commonly perceived as an emergent property of interacting molecules as studied in chemistry, whose phenomena reflect interactions among elementary particles, modeled in particle physics, that at such higher mass — via substantial conglomeration — exhibit motion as modeled in gravitational physics. Neurobiological phenomena are often presumed to suffice as the underlying basis of psychological phenomena, whereby economic phenomena are in turn presumed to principally emerge.
