> Tony: So, to answer your question, it depends on the pattern, and what the end result of the pattern is. Chemistry and biology have numerous example of emergent patterns that provide new and unexpected functionality.-That fits my concept of emergence. A new unexpected functionality. Airplane parts don't look ilke they can fly. Put them togetehr and their design makes for flight. Design means expectation of the modality that appears. Looking at the way apes live, no one would expect evolved human beings to have the kind of consciousness they have, which maks it so unusual.
