...e things whose simple structure emerges out of complexity. An aha of seeing the emergence. Or a simple structure revealing itself. Beauty is the first derivative of "interesting". Beauty is resonance that makes you want to dig in. It feels...
...ngs can be resonant. The only way to make something not hollow is to design for emergence. That's the only way to get space-filling in linear time. Construction takes linear time for linear benefit. With construction, you gain control, but...
Emergence isn't controllable, but it is tunable. If you set the right structure, different results emerge. Don't give up and say "it's emergent so I can't chan...
...eductionism can only see monocausal things. Everything else is invisible to it. Emergence cannot be observed via reductionism.
Emergence is magic.
Even if you don't believe in emergence, you can still get punched in the face by it. You won't see who did it, but it will hurt anyway. Non-believers don't see a single coherent thing that...
Emergence is magic. The emergent social imaginary is the most powerful force of emergence we interact with daily that operates on human time scales. The Saruma...
...phrase I love: "coherent pluralism" This is when you get the best of bottoms up emergence and the best of convergence. Folksonomies are an example of coherent pluralism.
Emergence is a real and powerful force, though it is fundamentally invisible. Paper: If you can get a better prediction of the collective by seeing it as whole...
Emergence in systems are driven by the population of people who care enough to show up and represent their interests on an ongoing basis. That authentic belief...
...omly came across a Claude artifact produced by someone about multiple levels of emergence in complex systems. At first it sounded fascinating, until I realized that it was mostly superficial gobbledygook. I fear that I sound like this pers...
...sk to see the component that produces the value. But it's not a component, it's emergence from the connection. That's why the beancounters win. They can point to concrete things to explain the value creation. The emergent value feels abstr...
...r implications destroy or do they create? The second order implications are the emergence of a system. Finding the latter is the secret to strategy. But it's also the secret to resonance; activity that improves the person doing it, but als...
...hat no one controls directly. They are a superorganism. If you don't believe in emergence you will miss this obvious fact, and continually be stymied by it.
...r pieces, the magic evaporates and you'll never see it. If you don't believe in emergence you can't believe in infinite things.
... social, it interacts with living things and is cocreated by them. Metaphors of emergence are often related to living things. Life is the only concrete autopoietic system that people are directly familiar with. The other systems are all bi...
