I concede this argument, from your latter sentence, I am considering emergent properties at different scales to be fractal like indeed. For the first sentence, my point was not to imply that a presence of one kind of behaviour leads to similar behaviour in related structures, but that at different scales, components of each structure may exhibit similar kinds of behaviour. E.g. a person can be considered to be violent or peaceful and so can a community. This could be from our nature of finding patterns in everything, though. Which I guess also leads to emergent properties anyway in some way, so I cannot add much more there. Actually I am unsure if it fits the definition of emergence - "emergence occurs when an entity is observed to have properties its parts do not have on their own" - but it would be hypocritical for me to argue on that note :D
