UNINTENDED. "Emergence is the phenomenon wherein a system is designed according to certain principles, but interesting properties arise that are not included in the goals of the designer." http://consc.net/notes/emergence.html View in LinkedIn

ADAPTATION. "Complex, Adaptive Systems Theory: The study of complex, nonlinear, interactive systems which have the ability to adapt to a changing environment. Such systems are characterized by the potential for self-organization and exist in a nonequilibrium environment. CAS's evolve by random mutation, self-organization, the transformation of their internal models of the environment, and natural selection." https://lnkd.in/dBCZ5hh View in LinkedIn

NOT A SIMPLE SUM OF PARTS. "When units of biological material are put together, the properties of the new material are not always additive, or equal to the sum of the properties of the components. Instead, at each level, new properties and rules emerge that cannot be predicted by observations and full knowledge of the lower levels. Such properties are called emergent properties." https://lnkd.in/epkJVpt View in LinkedIn

CONFLUENCE OF MANY. "Swarm Intelligence is a set of heuristic solutions inspired by animal swarm behaviors and capable to offer empirical solutions to many computationally hard problems pertaining to several disciplines." https://lnkd.in/dTg7N-6 View in LinkedIn

SWARM SOCIETY. "The emergence of such a complex behavior extends beyond the swarms. Complex social structures are similar in bigger animals as well as other types of insects. Some examples are colonies of ants and termites, flocks of birds, schools of fish, colonies of bacteria, or even herds of terrestrial animals." https://lnkd.in/dTg7N-6 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

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://lnkd.in/dAmwzUd 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://lnkd.in/dN5A7Kw View in LinkedIn

"NATURAL DISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS are adaptive, scalable and fault-tolerant. Emergence science describes how higher-level self-regulatory behaviour arises in natural systems from many participants following simple rule-sets. Emergence advocates simple communication models, autonomy and independence, enhancing robustness and self-stabilization." https://lnkd.in/dfVXcaw View in LinkedIn

SUPERSTRUCTURE. "An emergent behavior or emergent property can appear when a number of simple entities (agents) operate in an environment, forming more complex behaviors as a collective." https://lnkd.in/dN5A7Kw https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence#CITEREFAnderson1972 View in LinkedIn
