Emergence: the organized randomness

Emergence: When many simple objects interact with each other, they can form a system that has qualities that the objects themselves don’t. Examples: neurons creating consciousness, traders creating the stock-market, simple mathematical rules creating “living” patterns.

Emergence is a property of systems that can be unpredictable from their component's level of understanding. It's a statistical concept, based on fractals, self-similarity, and the philosophy of holistic thought. This is what allows for the "randomness" we see in nature, and it's for this reason that emergence is the key to understanding reality.

Emergence is what brings the universe together, and creates order where there was once chaos. Emergence and complexity are the reason that we have consciousness, intelligence, emotions and discernible reality. In this mini-cosmology video I tell a little tale about these concepts, and their importance to understanding why we exist.

Who am I?

I have a lot of dumb ideas. I tend to write them down and then revisit them from time to time. Sometimes, the world and/or my own understanding of it has moved enough to where it can now be taken to a new place. If you’d like to talk, I’d love to hear from you. 

Enjoy!
