"EMERGENT COMPUTATIONAL THEORY: Research into the computational capacities of emergent structures in complex, self-organizing systems that can be used to measure the complexity of these structures. It recognizes emergent phenomena by their information processing capacity. That is, one can understand the emergent phenomena found in complex, adaptive systems by their their innate potential for processing information." https://lnkd.in/dBCZ5hh View in LinkedIn

EXPONENTIAL RULE. "One reason why emergent behaviour is hard to predict is that the number of interactions between components of a system increases exponentially with the number of components, thus potentially allowing for many new and subtle types of behaviour to emerge." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence#CITEREFAnderson1972 View in LinkedIn

EMERGENCE, SYNERGY AND EVOLUTION. "In evolutionary processes, causation is iterative; effects are also causes. And this is equally true of the synergistic effects produced by emergent systems. In other words, emergence itself...has been the underlying cause of the evolution of emergent phenomena in biological evolution; it is the synergies produced by organized systems that are the key." https://dx.doi.org/10.1002%2Fcplx.10043 View in LinkedIn

"SYNERGISTIC EFFECTS of various kinds have played a major causal role in the evolutionary process generally and in the evolution of cooperation and complexity in particular." https://lnkd.in/dAmwzUd View in LinkedIn

UNDERSTATEMENT. "The complexity of today's applications is such, e.g. world scale, that no centralised or hierarchical control is possible. In other cases, it is the unforeseeable context, in which the application evolves or moves, which makes any supervision difficult." https://lnkd.in/dfAjwzM View in LinkedIn

OPEN SOURCE EXPLOSION. "GitHub has in recent years become the world’s biggest collection of open source software." https://lnkd.in/enWxmhC View in LinkedIn

HUMAN EMERGENCE? "The single fundamental commodity of our time in cyberspace appears to be information." https://lnkd.in/egy_KTi View in LinkedIn

EMERGENT = "deducible but not reducible". Biological and psychological laws and properties are frequently said not to be reducible to physical laws and properties.” https://lnkd.in/dmJdbxk View in LinkedIn

COMPUTATIONAL EMERGENCE. "When computer scientists use the term ‘computational emergence’ they usually mean to mark some feature of a process which the software designer did not intentionally code into the algorithms which generate the process." https://lnkd.in/dPyhGnF View in LinkedIn
