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

“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

NOT QUITE READY FOR MARKET. "And here's why you can’t go grab a brain-to-text device and hook it up to the internet just yet: For one, the patients' skulls were split open and electrode sheets were attached directly to their brains." http://motherboard.vice.com/read/this-device-reads-your-mind-and-types-your-thoughts View in LinkedIn

SMALL FOOTNOTE. "In this case, the patients were already undergoing an epilepsy procedure where the skull is popped open and an electrode grid is placed on the brain to map areas where neurons are misfiring." These scientists made important findings on these patients undergoing surgery. http://www.popsci.com/mind-reading-technology-turns-thoughts-text View in LinkedIn

COMBINED CAUSATION. “It is the combination of bottom-up and top-down causation that enables same-level behaviour to emerge at higher levels, because the entities at the higher level set the context for the lower level actions in such a way that consistent same-level behaviour emerges at the higher level.” https://lnkd.in/dnngg6a View in LinkedIn
