Emergent Systems
Complex systems that exhibit properties not predictable from their component parts, arising from interaction and feedback.
Overview
Emergent systems are structures that arise from decentralized interactions without central control. They exhibit properties that cannot be understood by analyzing parts in isolation. This includes markets, organizational networks, platform ecosystems, and technology adoption patterns.
