Strong Emergence Arising from Weak Emergence

چکیده
Predictions of emergent phenomena, appearing on the macroscopic layer a complex system, can fail if they are made by microscopic model. This study demonstrates and analyses this claim well-known Conway’s Game Life. Straightforward mean-field models easily capable predicting such properties after have been fitted to simulation data in an after-the-fact way. Thus, these predictions macro-to-macro only. However, micro-to-macro model significantly fails predict correctly, as does obvious mesoscopic modeling approach. suggests that some system dynamic should be interpreted examples phenomena (properties) arising from “strong emergence,” due lack ability build consistent model, could explain before-the-fact The root cause for inability way is identified pattern formation process, phenomenon usually classified being “weak emergence.” Ultimately, it may principle impossible discriminate between distinct categories “weak” “strong” emergence, both types part very same feedback loop mainly governs system’s dynamics.

Strong and Weak Emergence
The term ‘emergence’ often causes confusion in science and philosophy, as it is used to express at least two quite different concepts. We can label these concepts strong emergence and weak emergence. Both of these concepts are important, but it is vital to keep them separate. We can say that a high-level phenomenon is strongly emergent with respect to a low-level domain when the high-level phen...
متن کاملMetaphysical Emergence: Weak and Strong∗
Why care about what emergence is, and whether there is any? To start, many complex entities of our acquaintance—tornados, plants, people and the like—appear to be composed of less complex entities, and to have features which depend, one way or another, on features of their composing entities. Yet such complex entities also appear to be to some extent autonomous, both ontologically and causally,...
متن کاملEmergence of Weak Values
Various quantum measurement procedures are analyzed and it is shown that under certain conditions they yield consistently weak values which might be very different from the eigenvalues, the allowed outcomes according to the standard quantum formalism. The weak value outcomes result from peculiar quantum interference of the pointer variable of the measuring device.
متن کاملWeak Emergence and Complexity
In this paper we consider Mark Bedau’s notion of weak emergence (WE) and relate it to various attempts to objectively construe complexity. We argue that the heavy reliance on a specific notion of complexity risks rendering the concept superfluous. Furthermore we discuss what sort of systems might reasonably be understood as exhibiting emergence at all and point out that the macro-level needs to...
متن کاملTularemia: emergence/re-emergence.
Francisella tularensis is a gram-negative coccobacillus and the etiologic agent of the zoonotic disease tularemia. First described in 1911 in Tulare County, California, it has since been reported throughout the Northern Hemisphere, with natural infections reported among an unusually wide range of vertebrates and invertebrates. In recent years, tularemia has emerged in new geographic locations, ...
