Hence he claims that consciousness is no more mysterious than other emergent properties of natural functioning — it is a biological phenomenon (comparable with growth, digestion, or the secretion of bile), and «thus... part of the ordinary physical world» (MC 60).
A system, however, may well exhibit emergent properties of self - directedness which are the consequence of the strong coordination of its diverse parts generating organic integrity.

Agency, be it mechanistic, organic, or mental, is an emergent property of wholes, or so the systems approach maintains.
Durkheim was, of course, an intellectual heir to Rousseau, but nevertheless a gap of great proportions separates them: For Rousseau civil religion is a sensible thing for leaders to Create and encourage; for Durkheim it is an emergent property of social life itself.

My own view is that consciousness is an emergent property of a complex physical system.
What's more, if we regard consciousness as an emergent property of a complex system, we can not take the position that it is just another attribute (along with «digestion and lactation,» to quote philosopher John Searle).
If you accept the leap of faith that a nonbiological entity that is convincing in its reactions to qualia is conscious, then you accept my conclusion that consciousness is an emergent property of the overall pattern of an entity, not the substrate it runs on.
Consciousness is one of the biggest themes in all of these films, and Hutter thinks that if consciousness is ever achieved, it's likely to be an emergent property of advanced AI rather than something that was explicitly programmed or activated: «In general I would say that if I have a system which is sufficiently complicated... if they display behavior we would interpret as emotions as humans, then there's a reasonable chance that it has emotions.»
Here, we use the term AAN because many brainstem nuclei that contribute to arousal are located outside of the pontine and midbrain reticular core (e.g., locus coeruleus, parabrachial complex, etc.), and because we believe that the word «network» appropriately connotes the physiological mechanisms by which multiple modular circuits interrelate to enable the emergent property of arousal, and hence consciousness.
In other words, the switch from print to digital is an emergent property of the changing ecosystem, not a matter of consumer preference.»
