REDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM. "To suppose that the eye…could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree." (Darwin, 1859). http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nph.12416/full View in LinkedIn

ELEGANT DEFINITION. "Emergence is the phenomenon wherein complex, interesting high-level function is produced as a result of combining simple low-level mechanisms in simple ways." https://lnkd.in/dmJdbxk View in LinkedIn

OCCLUDED VIEW. "Emergence is a process whereby larger entities, patterns, and regularities arise through interactions among smaller or simpler entities that themselves do not exhibit such properties." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence View in LinkedIn

EMERGENCE may be the fly in the ointment that results in totally unexpected interactions between informational computer codes an viruses, giving us the inability to predict, nor control outcomes. The dramatic increase in computer code complexity in the short time it has been on the planet shows no sign of abating. Complex autonomous agents are the engine of emergent phenomena.

OUR ABILITY TO PREDICT how any complex system reacts as it gains greater complexity is confounded in all systems by the phenomenon of emergence, or the development of unanticipated traits and phenomena. This is now well recognized in biological systems. Is it equally recognized in increasingly complex computing systems? View in LinkedIn

INTELLIGENT GROUPS. "Flocks of birds flying in lockstep formation and schools of fish swimming in coherent array abruptly turn together with no leader guiding the group. Ants form complex societies whose survival derives from specialized laborers, unguided by a central director." An intelligence that exceeds that of the simple unitary players. https://lnkd.in/duzJtba View in LinkedIn

SUBSYSTEM LINKS. "Some of the most engaging and perplexing natural phenomena are those in which highly-structured collective behavior emerges over time from the interaction of simple subsystems." https://lnkd.in/duzJtba View in LinkedIn

UNEXPECTED COMBINATIONS. "A single-celled bacterium is alive, but if you separate the macromolecules that combined to create the bacterium, these units are not alive. Based on our knowledge of macromolecules, we would not have been able to predict that they could combine to form a living organism, nor could we have predicted all of the characteristics of the resulting bacterium." http://www.nature.com/scitable/topicpage/biological-complexity-and-integrative-levels-of-organization-468 View in LinkedIn
