1. Emergent Properties
- users.openverse.com
- Emergent Properties in Biology.
- ca (David Tinker) Subject: Emergent Properties. ... origins on "emergent properties" generated some heat, but not much light! My colleague, Larry Moran, objects to the term because he suspects (wrongly) that it is based on non-mechanistic or vitalistic superstition, and (rightly) that the term implies there is an obstacle to the reductionist agenda in biology. Other postings imply that the term "emergent properties" is tautologous, and not unique to biology; it has been claimed that everything has emergent properties, so the adjective "emergent" is meaningless. ... First, I do not think there is a satisfactory closed definition of the term "emergent", nor is it universally used by the research school most concerned with such properties, the 'Artificial Life' community. ... I turned to my well-thumbed copy of "Artifical Life I" and searched in the annotated bibliography and in the index for terms like "emergent" - see below for the results. ... So, being willing to be called a fool, I will essay a definition: ============================================================================= A system may be said to possess "emergent properties" when (a) it is composed of a collection of entities, (b) it has global properties, obeying well- characterised rules that may be used for predictive purposes, that arise from non-linear combinations of local interactions among the entities, and (c) the rules do not depend specifically on the chemical nature of the entities. ... Three systems with emergent properties that have been well examined are (a) artificial neural networks, (b) organisms that exhibit schooling or flocking behaviour, and (c) cellular automata. ... In the sense that thermodynamics is a formal system independent of any specific physical system, so are the laws governing emergent properties. ... Aren't all properties of matter "emergent" - e. ... The properties of water depend absolutely on the specific interactions of water molecules, whereas the properties I have called "emergent" would arise no matter what entities are involved. ... In fact, my conviction that my humanity has "emerged" from the properties of molecules contributes mightily to that emergent property of me, that I call a "religious world-view".

4. Emergent Properties
- plato.stanford.edu
- Emergent Properties.
- We might roughly characterize the shared meaning thus: emergent entities (properties or substances) ‘arise’ out of more fundamental entities and yet are ‘novel’ or ‘irreducible’ with respect to them. (For example, it is sometimes said that consciousness is an emergent property of the brain. ...
- Emergent Substance .
- ’ Heteropathic laws and effects correspond to a class of laws and effects that the later British Emergentists dubbed ‘emergent. ...
- Thus, Mill's dynamical account of emergence (heteropathic interactions) differs importantly from the synchronic, noncausal covariational account of the relationship of emergent features to the conditions that give rise to them that C. ...
- Emergent properties are identified by the trans-ordinal laws that they figure in; each emergent property appears in the consequent of at least one trans-ordinal law, the antecedent of which is some lower-level property:.
- Trans-ordinal laws are what we now call ‘emergent laws,’ fundamental, irreducible laws that describe a synchronic, noncausal covariation of an emergent property and its lower-level emergent base. Emergent laws are not metaphysically necessitated by any lower-level laws, boundary conditions and any lower-level compositional principles. On the epistemological status of emergent laws, Broad comments that:.
- This unpredictability, however, is not constitutive of emergence, but rather a consequence of the metaphysical irreducibility of the emergent properties and the trans-ordinal laws they bring in their train. ...
- The existence of emergent qualities thus described is something to be noted, as some would say, under the compulsion of brute empirical fact, or, as I should prefer to say in less harsh terms, to be accepted with the “natural piety” of the investigator. ...
- Such texts can easily be read as claiming that emergent features generate ‘configurational forces’ which supplement those of basic physics and chemistry. ...
- The emergent quality and the constellation to which it belongs are at once new and expressible without residue in terms of the processes proper to the level from which they emerge… (p. ...
- At this point, we should ask ourselves, what exactly are ‘qualities’, according to Alexander? Consider that he remarks that speaking of ‘the new emergent quality’ of life really just “sums up” a number of interconnected features, such as self-regulation, plasticity of behavioral response, and reproduction (p. ... Still, given the emphatic nature of his claims for the newness of emergent qualities, Alexander is probably best read as holding that corresponding to our summary terms “life” and “mind” are certain primitive features or other associated with the organized structures.

7. Emergent Literacy: Synthesis of the Research

- Emergent Literacy: Synthesis of the Research.
- In contrast, the emergent literacy perspective, which emanated from cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics, takes a broader view of literacy and examines children's literacy development before the onset of formal instruction (Hiebert & Papierz, 1990; Mason & Allen, 1986; McGee & Lomax, 1990; Sulzby & Teale, 1991). ...
- From an emergent literacy perspective, reading and writing develop concurrently and interrelatedly in young children, fostered by experiences that permit and promote meaningful interaction with oral and written language (Sulzby & Teale, 1991), such as following along in a big book as an adult reads aloud or telling a story through a drawing (Hiebert & Papierz, 1989). Through the concept of emergent literacy, researchers have expanded the purview of research from reading to literacy, based on theories and findings that reading, writing, and oral language develop concurrently and interrelatedly in literate environments (Sulzby & Teale, 1991). ...
- First, dimensions of literacy knowledge and literacy experiences are discussed, based on data from recent primary studies and reviews of emergent literacy research. ...
- Due to the emergent literacy focus, the age of the subjects ranged from preschoolers to seven-year olds, with the majority being preschool and kindergarten children.
- Measure selection is a significant consideration in any research design, but is particularly important in emergent literacy where researchers address issues raises by other researchers and relate data across studies to consolidate existing research (Sulzby & Teale, 1991).
- Measures in the research reviewed reflected the observational/descriptive nature of emergent literacy investigations and included direct observation of literacy behaviors, parent/child questionnaires about home literacy activities, and researcher-developed measures to assess listening comprehension and letter and word knowledge. ...
- Overview of Emergent Literacy Research.
- Definitions of emergent literacy. Our review of research revealed numerous but complementary definitions of emergent literacy. Researchers agreed that emergent literacy (a) begins during the period before children receive formal reading instruction, (Stahl & Miller, 1989; Teale & Sulzby, 1987; van Kleeck, 1990), (b) encompasses learning about reading, writing and print prior to schooling (Sulzby & Teale, 1991), (c) is acquired through informal as well as adult-directed home and school activities, and (d) facilitates acquisition of specific knowledge of reading. Emergent literacy differs from conventional literacy as it examines the range of settings and experiences that support literacy, the role of the child's contributions (i. ...
- Definitions of Emergent Literacy Terms.
- The term "emergent" denotes the developmental process of literacy acquisition and recognizes numerous forms of early literacy behavior. ... The following definitions of emergent literacy terms represent the most commonly used meanings of those terms, and will facilitate understanding of the review of emergent literacy.

- Many of the more interesting properties of living systems are emergent phenomena, found only in complete organisms or communities of those organisms, not in their isolated components. ... This conference focuses on the simulation of complete, multi-functional, non-trivial organisms, whose behaviour is an emergent consequence of the interactions of biologically plausible building blocks. ...
- Biologically plausible - Instead of behaviour driven by rules or algorithms, the focus is on emergent behaviour resulting from the interactions between aggregated biological structures such as neurones, biochemicals and genes, particularly in combination.
