Complex systems are characterized chiefly by these elements: many interacting components, non-linearities, discontinuities (i.e. the occurrence of something unexpected), and emergent properties, which come about when systems take on a «life of their own» and develop into something that often looks quite different than the original inputs.

The universe is 13.7 billion years old (cosmology: best estimate based on available data)- nothing to do with Atheism The earth is 4.5 billion years old (cosmology: best estimate based on available data)- nothing to do with Atheism Life emerged from non-life (Biogenesis theory... cause and process unknown)- nothing to do with Atheism Life spread and diversified through evolution (best available explanation)- nothing to do with Atheism Man evolved from common ape ancestor (evolution science)- nothing to do with Atheism Consciousness is an emergent property of the brain (neuroscience)- nothing to do with Atheism Emotions, memories and intelligence are functions of the brain (neuroscience)- nothing to do with Atheism Morals are emergent qualities of social animals (natural science)- nothing to do with Atheism

Moving away from a spin picture and concentrating on an emergent description of the excitations of the system, Nisoli described a low - energy state that could be mapped exactly into a celebrated theoretical model, the «dimer cover model,» whose topological properties had been recognized before.

It contains an information - based complex system with emergent properties, part of which drives a metabolism based on a proton gradient.

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.

Furthermore, vast emergent properties are beginning to arise on the Web, and no one is studying how they have blossomed or what they may mean for society.

Within this context, the accordion model is an emergent property based on transposon accumulation dynamics.

In this symposium, we are bringing together researchers who are taking each in their own right an interdisciplinary approach to explore the emergent properties of boundaries and their influences on the diversification of organisms and their ecosystems.

Together, they will focus on the great opportunities that lie in scaling up from atomic assembly and individual nanodevices to macroscopic systems and structures with emergent properties and functionality.

Chemistry doesn't prefer anything, it proceeds «forward» based on specific conditions and certain properties (remember physicsàchemistryàbiologyàphysiology with each later phenomena an emergent one from the previous one)

All of the interesting sensitivities are emergent properties, and I assure you that they are not simply tunable based on intuition.

Refraction, specifically the real component of refraction n (describes bending of rays, wavelength changes relative to a vacuum, affects blackbody fluxes and intensities — as opposed to the imaginary component, which is related to absorption and emission) is relatively unimportant to shaping radiant fluxes through the atmosphere on Earth (except on the small scale processes where it (along with difraction, reflection) gives rise to scattering, particularly of solar radiation — in that case, the effect on the larger scale can be described by scattering properties, the emergent behavior).

The sequence of chemical reactions that enable aqua regia to dissolve gold is remarkable, and depends on chemical structures, but the unique ability to dissolve gold is an emergent property, of a sort that essentialists have not much discussed.

Conversely, many emergent constraints on ECS can be understood as encoding properties of shortwave low - cloud feedbacks (Qu et.

And philosophers do study strange things, like this: -LSB-...] The sequence of chemical reactions that enable aqua regia to dissolve gold is remarkable, and depends on chemical structures, but the unique ability to dissolve gold is an emergent property, of a sort that essentialists have not much discussed.

The non-linearities are emergent properties of the complex interconnectivity of the many parts of the earth climate system — The presence and amplitude of El Nino changes the rainfall in the southeastern US, which affects evapotranspiration and cloudiness over the warm parts of the Atlantic, which affects the amount of sensible and latent heat which goes into the atmosphere, which the prevailing winds carry to Great Britain, and so on through a chain of events which eventually influence the barometric pressure differences between the Eastern and Western Pacific which drive the ENSO.
