Emergence

Emergence is a pervasive principle that saturates our everyday lives. From the development a fetus to the flocking of birds to the dynamics of traffic to animal behaviour, it governs the patterns we take for granted. What is it? How does it work? How can we use it to model and study our world? How can we use it to solve complex engineering problems, track economic trends, and even create artificial life?
