emergentní
Emergentní, commonly rendered in English as emergent, is a term used in science and philosophy to describe properties, patterns, or behaviors that arise at a higher level of organization from the interactions of lower-level elements, and which are not easily reducible to the properties of those elements. Emergent phenomena are typical of complex systems, where many simple units following local rules collectively generate novel dynamics, structures, or functions.
Two main senses are distinguished. Weak emergence refers to macro-level properties that are fully determined by
Examples of emergent phenomena include flocking in birds, traffic flow patterns, social norms in human groups,
Methodologically, emergence is studied with agent-based models, cellular automata, network theory, and other bottom-up simulation approaches
Historically, the term emergent originated in 19th-century philosophy and was later developed in complexity science. In
