I don't have to define it. People far smarter than I have already done so, and either you are unaware of it or willfully ignore their definitions because they do not suit your views. Either way, I will let them speak for themselves. -Emergence Defined -Note in particular this: In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence is the way complex systems and patterns arise out of a multiplicity of relatively simple interactions. Emergence is central to the theories of integrative levels and of complex systems.-Biology can be viewed as an emergent property of the laws of chemistry which, in turn, can be viewed as an emergent property of particle physics. Similarly, psychology could be understood as an emergent property of neurobiological dynamics, and free-market theories understand economy as an emergent feature of psychology.
