I am quite sure chaos can be an emergent property. E.g. think of Conways game of life: One could build a contraption which amplifies a very small event into a gigantic one (like a Geiger-Müller tube) and spawn a few gliders (as particles). Now, a very small change in the initial configuration changes the outcome drastically, even though all the rules of the simulation are still perfectly deterministic and linear.
