Then come complex multicellular organisms, societies of animals with new emergent properties at the ecosystem level, and, finally conscious beings who create culture, use symbolic language — and experience the first intimations of transcendence.

If we grant the deterministic hypothesis that all bodies follow certain physical laws, then it has to be asserted that it would be at least logically possible to predict the emergence of emergent properties from the law - guided interaction of smaller bodies.

Two examples: graphene — single - atom - thick sheets of carbon atoms — has unique mechanical, electrical, and optical properties; and two - dimensional electron gases (2DEG)-- planar collections of electrons supported at the interface between certain semiconductors such as gallium arsenide — allow the observation of such emergent behaviors as the quantum Hall effect and the spin Hall effect.

For the last 50 years, one of the major themes of physics has been how emergent properties come out of complex interactions at a smaller level, and that's just what I predict we'll see with microbiomes.

I think it is over the heads of Myron Ebell's intended audience, however, and it may be necessary to write an overview — at high - school level — that explains the relative value of inductive and deductive methods in science, use of multi-compartment models in general, the sorts of problems they regularly entail (formulation, measurement, n - body calculation, brute - force computer simulation, experimental repetition, real - world validation, emergent properties, catastrophic regime - shift, assignment of probabilities, etc.) and how these are variously or provisionally overcome, according to the science you are practicing.

The climate system as a whole is one of those topics where complexity is intrinsic, and while the behaviour of simpler systems or subsystems is fascinating, one can't avoid looking directly at the emergent properties of the whole system — of which the actual temperature changes from month to month are but one.

Natural variation due to redistribution of heat through mechanisms such as ENSO show up as emergent properties of at least some of the models (GISS Model E, for instance).

At each level, there are emergent properties that open our planet to a vast number of new possibilities.

Just as to make sure that your finances are managed well in any case of losses or damage to your property or any emergent medical expenses at your door, taking up a student travel insurance is absolutely necessary.
