RDN<p>A new framework for understanding how emergent behavior arises incorporates hierarchies and three different types of closure. Implementation with computational mechanics successfully models several real-world systems that show emergent behavior:</p><p><a href="https://www.quantamagazine.org/the-new-math-of-how-large-scale-order-emerges-20240610/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">quantamagazine.org/the-new-mat</span><span class="invisible">h-of-how-large-scale-order-emerges-20240610/</span></a></p><p>One consequence is that causality may not originate in the deepest levels of a system--there is some immunity to randomness, and implications for free will.</p><p><a href="https://floss.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Science</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Complexity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Complexity</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/EmergentBehavior" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmergentBehavior</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/Causality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Causality</span></a> <a href="https://floss.social/tags/FreeWill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeWill</span></a></p>
