Emergence is my all time favourite topic. I can highly recommend this video: https://youtu.be/16W7c0mb-rE https://youtu.be/16W7c0mb-rE
When I learned during my computing and philosophy class about emergence it was like I found the missing puzzle pieces so everything (I mean that) makes sense.
I love how all things in existence emerge simply via self organisation. All that is needed is communication. This can be gravity for stardust to form planet systems; using once eyes to form bird flocks; using chemicals for communication to form ant colonies; using human communication to form societies.
Once during my diving lecture, the lecturer pointed out, that we can, in many cases, call self organisation simply an eco system. Which makes it much easier to explain this topic to people.
He said, a lake will self organise when you rob it from an important fish, and so will our body when we start doing sport (grow muscles). Every system will react to change, and will try to re-organse itself.

The individual units don't necessarily have to communicate. They only need to share some common direction or goal. For example, the infamous starlings don't formally conspire. Yet the result functions as a conspiracy, so to speak.
