ARTICLE AUTHOR. “Professor George Francis Rayner Ellis, FRS, Hon. FRSSAf (born 11 August 1939), is the emeritus distinguished professor of complex systems in the Department of Mathematics and Applied Mathematics at the University of Cape Town in South Africa. He co-authored The Large Scale Structure of Space-Time with University of Cambridge physicist Stephen Hawking, published in 1973, and is considered one of the world's leading theorists in cosmology. From 1989 to 1992 he served as president of the International Society on General Relativity and Gravitation. He is a past president of the International Society for Science and Religion. He is an A-rated researcher with the NRF.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_F._R._Ellis View in LinkedIn

“EMERGENCE of a higher level system from the lower level modules takes place when reliable higher level behaviour arises out of the lower level actions taking place in the context of this structure, with lower level units grouped together to form higher level modules that one can identify as meaningful entities that persist over time and have identifiable laws of behaviour.” https://lnkd.in/dnngg6a View in LinkedIn

STRATA OF PHENOMENA. “Each of the different levels of the hierarchy function according to laws of behaviour appropriate to that level, and are describable only in terms of language suited to that level (the concepts that are basic to molecular biology, such as genes and proteins, cannot be described in the language of a particle physicist, such as quarks and gluons).” https://lnkd.in/dnngg6a View in LinkedIn

BOTTOM UP CAUSATION. “Self-assembly and self-structuring based on bottom-up action alone can lead to emergence of structures such as crystals and simple biological molecules, or of dynamical systems with attractors leading to entities such as stars and galaxies, and to more complex phenomena such as Bénard cells, patterns associated with the reaction–diffusion equation and sand piles, the dynamics of the Game of Life, properties of slime mould, existence of ant colonies and the behaviour of flocks of birds.” https://lnkd.in/dnngg6a View in LinkedIn
