• The emergence of heterogeneity.
• The conclusion of the paper is that if one only allows global communicative mechanisms, and internal models of limited expressiveness then one might well be preventing the emergence of heterogeneity in your model. Or, to put it another way, endowing ones agents with the ability to make real social distinctions and (implicit or explicit) models of each other may allow the emergence of social situated behaviour that might be qualitatively different than a model without this capacity.

• The Emergence of Consciousness.
• "This book can be recommended as a starting point and guide to the various modern views on the place of consciousness in the world, and particularly to the distinction and debate between reduction and emergence. ...
• 'Emergence' theory offers a compromise: the mind ‘emerges’ from the physical body but the whole person, mind and body, is more than the sum of the physical parts. In The Emergence of Consciousness philosopher Robert Van Gulick gives a clear and masterly overview and comparison of the current ‘emergent’ and ‘reductive’ approaches. ...

• Reduction, Emergence and Other Recent Options on the Mind/Body Problem.
• I will focus in particular on three central and interrelated ideas: those of emergence, reduction, and nonreductive physicalism. ...
• The terms ‘reduction’, ‘nonreductive’ and ‘emergence’ get used in a bewildering variety of ways in the mind–body literature, none of which is uniquely privileged or standard. ... Thus, much of my mapping will be devoted to sorting out the main versions of reduction and emergence before turning to assess their interrelations and plausibility. ...
• First, the inter-related concepts of emergence, reducibility and constraint are considered, particularly as these ideas relate to hierarchical biological systems. The implications of radical emergence theories of the mind such as the one posited by Roger Sperry, are explored. ... An alternative model, one that avoids the dualism inherent in radical emergence theories, is offered in which the brain is described as producing a nested hierarchy of meaning and purpose that has no ‘top’ or ‘summit’. Finally, I will argue there remains a non-reducible aspect of consciousness that does not depend upon radical emergence theory, but rather on the mutual irreducibility of the subjective and objective points of view. ...
• Emergence claims the neutral ground between substance dualism (perceived as hostile to science) and reductive physicalism (perceived as hostile to religion). ...
• Fundamental limitations constraining the application of emergence to formulations of conscious mental states are explored within the paradigm of classical science. ...

• The Emergence of Complexity Jochen Fromm kassel university press , ISBN 3-89958-069-9 , 2004 , 200 Seiten .
• Based on the notations of agents, objects and object-orientedprogramming, the book gives convincing scientific arguments andwell illustrated explanations for the emergence of complex systems through different mechanisms and describes in detail how and why systems became more and more complex, from ancient cultures to modern states, from the earliest primitive eukaryotic organisms to conscious human beings, and from natural ecosystems to cultural organizations. ... As the word "emergence" suggests, the emergence of complexity is always possible at system boundaries, which enable the transfer of complexity between different systems. ... The emergence of complexity has a price. ... Creation, concentration and accumulation is possible because something else is subject to destruction, dissipation or dispersion, and the emergence of completely new species is usually accompanied by the mass extinctionof older species. Complexity and its emergence are inextricably linked to catastrophes and extinctions. ...

• Emergence.
• Emergence.
• Accounting for emergence has proven to be extraordinarily difficult, so much so that whether or not genuine emergence exists seems still in doubt. I argue that this difficulty is primarily due to an assumption of a false and inappropriate metaphysics in analyses of emergence. In particular, common assumptions of various kinds of substance metaphysics make the notion of causally efficacious emergence seriously problematic, if not impossible. There are, however, many problems with substance metaphysics -- arguably fatal problems -- and an alternative process metaphysics makes causally efficacious emergence much more natural.
• So, for emergence to do what we would want it to do, we need not only emergent instances of properties, but the emergence of properties or entities or processes that have genuine causal powers.
• It has proven remarkably difficult to make good on these intuitions of emergence. ...
• I will be arguing that genuine emergence does exist, and that the difficulties encountered in trying to make sense of it have been exacerbated by the presupposition of a false metaphysics -- a metaphysics of substances (particles) and properties. ... In this alternative process metaphysical framework, the possibility of emergence, including genuine causally efficacious emergence, is found to be trivial -- the in-principle mystery of emergence is dissolved. Accounting for any particular emergence, however, such as that of mind, remains a deep, complex, and difficult problem.
• The intuition of emergence is that of novel causal powers coming into being at specific levels of ontology (Beckermann, Flohr, & Kim, 1992; Beckermann, 1992b; Hooker, 1979, 1981a, 1981b, 1981c, 1989). ...
• Emergence in ontology is the stronger concept, and refers to something new coming into being with each instance of some level or pattern of lower level constituents. ...
• The emergence of novelty per se, at least in the sense of novel properties, seems uninterestingly trivial. There was presumably a first time for the cosmological emergence of an instance of the shape "rectangle" or the configuration of one thing being "above" something else. Among other requirements, these had to await the "emergence" of entities out of the original superhot fields of the Big Bang, and, for the relationship of "above", presumably the aggregation of a mass with a significant gravitational field so that the directions of "up" and "down" would be determined. But the simplicity with which such a criterion of novel property emergence can be met seems to render it almost nugatory, and, correspondingly, novelty is generally considered to be a weak necessary criterion with little intrinsic interest.

• EMERGENCE.
• Emergence signifies a kind change. ... Thirdly, there is emergence, which is a cumulative change, a change in which certain characteristics supervene upon other characteristics, these characteristics being adequate to explain the occurrence on their level. The important points here are first, that in discussing emergence we are not discussing the possibility of cosmic chance. ...
• The theory of emergence involves three propositions: .
• It is not so obvious that a theory of emergent laws must also be such -- or else cease to be a theory of emergence. ...
• Emergence is supposed to be a cosmic affair and laws are descriptions. ...
• An emergent law must, therefore, involve the emergence of new variables. ...
• The assumption in theories of emergence is that mechanical changes, single level changes (call them shifts) are predictable, but that emergent changes are not. ...
