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

UNPREDICTABLE. "The growing emphasis on pervasive computing and MEMS requires the deployment the computation on very small devices for swarming system. The cooperation and interaction in such system inspired by biological system seem to be more and more complex and inconceivable because of highly dynamic, distributed and unpredicted features." (Bingo!). https://lnkd.in/dAR4a5C View in LinkedIn

SHAPE GRAMMARS. "The role of emergence in creative design and its unique embodiment in shape grammars have been emphasized by March, Stiny, and others. Shape grammars generate emergent shapes—shapes not predefined in a grammar." https://lnkd.in/dgGXmuw View in LinkedIn

"AUTONOMIC COMPUTING, perhaps the most attractive approach to solving this problem, creates systems that can manage themselves when given high-level objectives from administrators. Systems manage themselves according to an administrator's goals. New components integrate as effortlessly as a new cell establishes itself in the human body. These ideas are not science fiction, but elements of the grand challenge to create self-managing computing systems." http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1160055&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D1160055 View in LinkedIn

IBM MANIFESTO "noted the almost impossible difficulty of managing current and planned computing systems, which require integrating several heterogeneous environments into corporate-wide computing systems that extend into the Internet." http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/login.jsp?tp=&arnumber=1160055&url=http%3A%2F%2Fieeexplore.ieee.org%2Fxpls%2Fabs_all.jsp%3Farnumber%3D1160055 View in LinkedIn

COMPLEXITY CRISIS. "A 2001 IBM manifesto observed that a looming software complexity crisis - caused by applications and environments that number into the tens of millions of lines of code - threatened to halt progress in computing." https://lnkd.in/dWNndhf 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
