There are tonnes more, maybe this is time for a long-form essay on , and ! But back to the original point of how such terms and terminologies emerge and evolve. While the intentions are always to clarify, classify and rally around, they quickly become loose and/or murky, and then abused to the point that they mean nothing! . (n/n)

I'm still amazed by this every time. Watch the transient dynamics (relatively synchronous dampening ) of autotroph biomass in a 5-patch turn into an oscillatory pattern with completely asynchronous dynamics. in
AND I'M DOING ACTUAL RESEARCH WITH THIS CAN YOU BELIEVE IT THIS IS SO COOL

Emergence is seen as crucial to understanding consciousness, as it suggests complex systems exhibit behaviours not present in their parts. However, we've only seen weak examples in nature and never anything as strong as consciousness. Some scientists hope emergence will shed light on consciousness, while others are sceptical. newscientist.com/article/mg258

@seanmcarroll of all the work / papers mentioned in the podcast, I'm most excited to get to this one by Jessica Flack royalsocietypublishing.org/doi

"Attempting to explain the effects of an object which has emergent powers in terms of the relative contribution of its constituents is like attributing a certain percentage of the behaviour of water to hydrogen effects and the rest to oxygen effects" (Andrew Sayer, Method in Social Science, p. 181)

Is an emergent social practice? I think so, since it can't be reduced to constituent parts.

Could an LLM write a text that is academic?

To innovate you must push the system far from equilibrium.

& discuss 2 types:
• context-free constraints (we are pre-loaded with assumptions and genes);
• context-sensitive constraints (such as a gait) change the probabilities.

"Closure of context sensitive constraints radically reconfigures the landscape."
