And yet there is no agreed scientific theory to explain emergence. Loosely, the behavior of a complex system might be considered emergent if it can\u2019t be predicted from the properties of the parts alone. But when will such large-scale structures and patterns arise, and what\u2019s the criterion for when a phenomenon is emergent and when it isn\u2019t? Confusion has reigned. \u201cIt\u2019s just a muddle,\u201d said&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/csc.ucdavis.edu\/~chaos\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jim Crutchfield<\/a>, a physicist at the University of California, Davis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPhilosophers have long been arguing about emergence, and going round in circles,\u201d said&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.sussex.ac.uk\/p22981-anil-seth\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Anil Seth<\/a>, a neuroscientist at the University of Sussex in England. The problem, according to Seth, is that we haven\u2019t had the right tools\u2014\u201cnot only the tools for analysis, but the tools for thinking. Having measures and theories of emergence would not only be something we can throw at data but would also be tools that can help us think about these systems in a richer way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>[ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/the-puzzle-of-how-large-scale-order-emerges-in-complex-systems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click to continue reading at WIRED<\/a> ]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>from WIRED The Puzzle of How Large-Scale Order Emerges in Complex Systems With a new framework, researchers believe they could be close to explaining how regularities emerge on macro scales out of systems made up of uncountable constituent parts. by Philip Ball THE ORIGINAL VERSION\u00a0of\u00a0this story\u00a0appeared in\u00a0Quanta Magazine.
