- On Emergence and Explanation.
- Emergence is a universal phenomenon that can be defined mathematically in a very general way. ... Two notions of emergence are defined, and specific examples of these are discussed. ...
- Can the emergence of real new properties in complex systems really be explained? If the sciences of complexity offer important new insights, theories, and methodologies for dealing with complex, higher-order phenomena (as we think they do), and if the traditional view of explanation cannot account for the explanatory strategies we find here, we should look for other accounts of scientific explanation. ...
- , the emergence of structures that can be said to explain a phenomenon - very little has been said. ...
- Emergence and hyperstructures.
- In the recent years the notion of emergence has been studied extensively, but often without making precise what emergence means. We will here use emergence in the general sense defined by Baas (1994a). ...
- This is intuitively what we understand by emergence. ...
- General causes of emergence would be: non-linear interactions, large collections of limits, open-ended evolution in heterogeneous environments, context-dependence of properties in complex systems.
- We think that the present framework is quite useful for analysing the nature of emergence - in particular the dependence on observational mechanisms. ...
- For a further discussion of emergence, we refer to Baas (1994a, 1994b, 1996) and for the use of category theory, Ehresman & Vanbremeersch (1987, 1994). ...
- As we see it here emergence is just the same as holism. ...
- Thus, within the general framework proposed here, one must distinguish between two different kinds of emergence: .
- Deducible or computational emergence. ...
- Observational emergence. ...

- This requires a characterization of the relationships between the bio/psychological and the social, and of the developmental process of emergence. It also requires a framework for modeling the bio/psychological level that makes any such emergence possible. ...
- The discussion proceeds in three general phases: 1) a model of the emergence of social reality, including language, in particular kinds of interaction relations among people, and 2) a model of the sense in which persons emerge in individual development as infants, toddlers, and children come to be able to participate in these social realities. ...
- Error Dynamics: The Dynamic Emergence of Error Avoidance and Error Vicariants.
- This paper presents a model of the nature, emergence, and development of such error dynamics. ...
- The Emergence of Contentful Experience.
- Process and Emergence: Normative Function and Representation.
- Emergence seems necessary for any naturalistic account of the world - none of our familiar world existed at the time of the Big Bang, and it does now - and normative emergence is necessary for any naturalistic account of biology and mind - mental phenomena, such as representation, learning, rationality, and so on, are normative. But Jaegwon Kim's argument appears to render causally efficacious emergence impossible, and Hume's argument appears to render normative emergence impossible, and, in its general form, it precludes any emergence at all. ... In particular, causally efficacious ontological emergence can be modeled, but only within a process metaphysics, thus avoiding Kim's argument, and by making use of non-abbreviatory forms of definition, thus avoiding Hume's argument. ...
- The Dynamic Emergence of Representation.
- Accounting for that emergence is among the central problems of naturalism today. The emergence of representation is a difficult problem for a number of reasons, but one of them is that representation involves issues both of fact and of normativity, and accounting for the naturalistic emergence of normativity is particularly difficult -- some would say impossible. ...
- Physicalism, Emergence, and Downward Causation.
- Clearly grasping why physicalism is untenable, however, opens the logical space for a fecund notion of genuine emergence. ...
- Interactive anticipation is the locus of the emergence of normative representational content, and, thus, of representation in general: interactive anticipation is the naturalistic core of the evolution of cognition. ...

- Evolutionary Emergence: The Struggle for Existence in Artificial Biota (pdf / ps. ...
- Abstract: The generation of complex entities with advantageous behaviours beyond our manual design capability requires long-term incremental evolution with continuing emergence. ... Thus, some requirements for the perpetuation of evolutionary emergence are established. An (artificial) environment containing simple virtual autonomous organisms with neural controllers has been created to satisfy these requirements and to aid in the development of an accompanying theory of evolutionary emergence. ... In one example, the collective behaviour of one species provides a selective force which is overcome by another species, demonstrating the incremental evolutionary emergence of advantageous behaviours via naturally-arising coevolution. ...

Thus, some requirements for the perpetuation of evolutionary emergence are established. An (artificial) environment containing simple virtual autonomous organisms with neural controllers has been created to satisfy these requirements and to aid in the development of an accompanying theory of evolutionary emergence. ... In a particular example, the collective behaviour of one species provides a selective force which is overcome by another species, demonstrating the incremental evolutionary emergence of advantageous behaviours via naturally-arising coevolution. While the results fall short of the ultimate goal, experience with the system has provided some useful lessons for the perpetuation of emergence towards increasingly complex advantageous behaviours. ...

- Abstract: Perpetuating evolutionary emergence is the key to artificially evolving increasingly complex systems. In order to generate complex entities with adaptive behaviors beyond our manual design capability, long-term incremental evolution with continuing emergence is called for. ... Thus some requirements for perpetuating evolutionary emergence are revealed. ... In one example, the collective behavior of one species clearly provides a selective force which is overcome by another species, demonstrating the perpetuation of evolutionary emergence via naturally arising coevolution. ...

- Emergence.
- In the study of complex systems, the idea of emergence is used to indicate the arising of patterns, structures, or properties that do not seem adequately explained by referring only to the system's pre-existing components and their interaction. Emergence becomes of increasing importance as an explanatory construct when the system is characterized by the following features: .
