> … they are simply a natural consequence of more … That’s what emergent means. Something scales quantitatively, and after reaching certain levels, without any other special prompting, something else changes qualitatively. Presumably we recognize these things, then learn something after we have investigated and found out what the new mode of operation is, why it needed what it did to emerge, and possibly find new efficiencies or other ways to amplify the emergent effects.
